Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Fleuron 2019 - Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Description

The aptly named Cuvée Fleuron from Maison Pierre Gimonnet & Fils is a remarkable expression of the finesse and elegance of the great blanc de blancs from Côte des blancs. This 2019 vintage, composed exclusively of Chardonnay, derives its uniqueness from the careful blending of the Grand Cru terroirs of Cramant and Chouilly (75.5%), and the Premier Cru terroir of Cuis (24.5%). The care taken at every stage of vinification, from hand-picking to fractional pressing, followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and malolactic fermentation, is reflected in the quality of Champagne. Aged in vats for 8 months, with cold stabilization and clay filtration, this cuvée has aged for over four years in bottle on its lees. In the glass, the whole is balanced between substance, finesse, elegance and freshness. The palate offers a complex, mineral structure, supported by chiseled acidity and a subtle dosage of 4 g/L that reinforces the intensity of the fruit without masking its purity.
