Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Spécial Club Oger 2016 - Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Description

Cuvée Spécial Club Oger Grand Cru 2016 is a sublime expression of Chardonnay, which comes exclusively from the prestigious Granc Cru d'Oger. The 2016 vintage is marked by the singular power and minerality of this southern terroir of Côte des blancs, renowned for its distinctive "smokier" and "graphite" character than its neighboring terroirs. It stands out for its intense expression and heightened complexity, making this cuvée a sought-after Rare. Vinified from hand-picked grapes, this wine benefits from temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation and complete malolactic fermentation. Champagne is then aged on lees for over five years, giving it exceptional depth and richness, before being disgorged six months before shipping. With a dosage Extra-Brut of just 4 g/L, the 2016 Cuvée Spécial Club Oger Grand Cru reveals refreshing acidity and a silky texture that extends into a long, impressive finish. Produced in limited quantities (less than 3,000 bottles), this cuvée is a true demonstration of the Champagne Pierre Gimonnet philosophy, which usually favors blends of different terroirs to offer greater complexity. This Grand Cru mono-terroir adds an exceptional dimension to their range, offering a unique and daring interpretation of Oger Chardonnay.
