Description
Lively, airy, perfectly balanced... this vintage represents the archetype of the Pierre Gimonnet et Fils style. Every year, we use all the wines needed to reproduce this House style, the priority cuvée of the Domaine. To do so, we take care to blend wines of the year in a very subtle way, with reserve wines of different vintages. In order to succeed in this delicate and fundamental step, Pierre Gimonnet et Fils opted to keep all his reserve wines in bottles (on fine lees) and not in vats (which makes it possible to incorporate wines more than two years old that have kept all their freshness). This method of blending is very rare: we are the only Champagne winemaker to keep all our reserve wines in bottles, and this since 1982.

We find ourselves, not surprisingly, in the Côte des Blancs, where from the 28 hectares of property, the company Pierre Gimonnet produces grapes with which it produces Champagne with a distinctive and absolutely recognizable style. Being able to count on vineyards that reach up to 75 years of age, conducted in full and total respect for the environment, the Maison Pierre Gimonnet adds wisdom and perfection.
The vinification is based on traditional methods, with grapes that are harvested manually and left to ferment in small vats.
The malolactic fermentation follows, after which a single light filtration is carried out before the tirage, while the disgorgement takes place only 3 months before the product is shipped.
Finally, the topping off is light and delicate, so as not to mask the natural, elegant and fresh style of Chardonnay. Read more
