2016 Pierre Gimonnet ‘Special Club’ 'Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay' Brut Champagne with Gift Box
Winemaker Notes: This cuvée is the result of a very careful job at all stages of elaboration. The blending, made exclusively with Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, is a delicate blend from old vineyards over 40 years old, the oldest were planted in 1911 and 1913.
The Special Club is mainly composed of « hearts of each terroirs » of Cramant Grand Cru, completed by Chouilly « Montaigu » and a touch of Cuis 1er cru to bring freshness, signature of Pierre Gimonnet& Fils style.
This cuvée, « nec plus ultra » of our terroirs, is distinguished by a very silky texture, finesse and elegance worthy of the greatest.

James Suckling - "This is showing fantastic aromatic complexity, exuding notes of walnut, quince, dried apricot, white cocoa and pastry. It’s creamy, sleek and layered. Very soft and fine bubbles. Long, caressing and fresh finish. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 4,5g/L. Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Cramant (58%) and Chouilly (27%) with wine from the 1er Cru village of Cuis (15%). Drink or hold."
