Description
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 terroir » of Cramant Grand Cru, completed by Chouilly « Montaigu » and a touch of Cuis 1er cru to bring freshness, signature of Pierre Gimonnet& Fils style.

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
