An excellent aperitif, at the table it will definitely be seafood: fillet of sole meunière, breaded langoustine tails, warm oysters, monkfish tail or sea bream with salted butter potatoes, cauliflower gratin...
The colour is a bright yellow and the effervescence, fine and regular, it generates a nice bead on the surface.
We perceive aromas of candied citrus fruits, toasted bread, acacia honey, mimosa and bergamot.
After a few seconds of aeration, the expression evolves towards toasted notes, then, as the wine warms up, we appreciate notes of pastry, cooked pear and light tobacco on an "earthy" background.
Here are all the characteristics of a great Champagne Blanc de Blancs.
The particularly elegant effervescence blends with the body of the wine. The wine is slender and long, and makes one appreciate its fluidity.
The freshness of the Cuvée is also expressed with great precision, accompanied by a delicate salty note.
A feeling of airy purity emanates from the whole.
The palate and silky texture reinforce this feeling of exceptionality.
The final sensation suggests wet chalk and lemon.
Spécial Blanc
Brut Nature
Premier Cru
Jean-Luc Gimonnet
This Champagne Brut Nature et Millésime, airy and delicate, is an extraordinary expression of Chardonnay.
Thanks to its magnificent texture, it brings out the elegance and minerality of this grape variety on the chalky terroir of the Côte des Blancs.
An ode to Chardonnay, to the delight of lovers of exceptional Champagne!
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.
