It will pair well with lemon grilled fish, crab toast, grilled shrimp with Kampot pepper or excellent goat cheeses such as Selles-sur-Cher, Valençay or Pouligny-Saint-Pierre.
Ideally, you dare to present it on a monkfish tail with a mandarin sabayon.
The color appears almost golden, accompanied by light greenish reflections. The effervescence is slow, regular and feeds a thin bead of foam.
After aeration, the biscuit, almond oil, fresh hazelnut and melted butter add depth.
Elegance and refinement are the keywords!
The effervescence is particularly elegant then the beautiful vivacity of the wine is the leitmotif of the tasting, all in fluidity and savory finesse.
We are struck by the great coherence of the whole that generates a feeling of purity, embellished with iodized notes.
This arachnid structure suggests lace and the marine world.
Salivation is very important and leaves us with a chalky feeling.

Millésime 2008
Premier Cru
Parcellaire
Jean-Luc Gimonnet
The 2008 vintage, fresh and remarkably lively, offers us a Millésime of great elegance, purity and a texture reminiscent of the finest dentelle.
This Cuvée, parcel (La Guette), single-varietal Chardonnay and MonoCru, Cuis (Côte des Blancs), is now reaching the beginning of its maturity.
Passionate artisan and proud heir to a long dynasty of Vignerons, my loyalty to the terroir is not just a tradition, but a quest for authenticity that animates my work everyday.
The unique terroir of Cuis, with its predominance of chalk, is my canvas.It allows me to sculpt wines with a soul, creations that narrate the story of their origin with every sip. The aging process on lees, ranging from 7 years for our youngest Cuvées to over 20 years for the exceptional vintages, is a testament to patience and devotion. Each added year contributes to enriching their character, like a work of art that improves over time. For me, the creation of each Cuvée is comparable to haute couture: it requires not just thousands of hours of hard work, but also impeccable precision and creativity.
It's these moments of pure creation that fuel my passion and reinforce my commitment to excellence.
