Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Gastronome 2020 - Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Description

A historic cuvée created in 1947, the aptly named Cuvée Gastronome has been specially designed to accompany an entire meal. To achieve this feat, Maison Gimonnet & Fils uses the "petite mousse" method, a technique that creates extremely fine bubbles. 100% Chardonnay, this Champagne is a blend of 45% Chouilly Grand Cru, 20% Cramant Grand Cru, 3% Oger Grand Cru and 32% Premiers Crus de Cuis et Vertus. Hand-picked grapes are followed by fractional pressing, cold settling, alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, malolactic fermentation, and aging in vats for eight months. After aging on lees for over three years, Champagne is dosed at 4.5 g/L. In the glass, its fine bubbles and creamy mousse combine with the striking freshness that is the hallmark of Maison Pierre Gimonnet & Fils.
