As an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with toasted almonds, crab crostini or fresh goat’s cheese. At the table, it truly comes into its own alongside refined seafood cuisine: amberjack carpaccio with citrus, steamed Dover sole scented with thyme, a lemon and basil risotto, or sea bass ravioli with delicate herbs.
Its radiant freshness and velvety texture also complement more sophisticated dishes, such as monkfish served with a delicate citrus sauce.
The overall appearance conveys both freshness and the first hints of maturity.
Gradually, this elegant expression becomes more pastry-like, unveiling notes of roasted almonds and orange blossom navettes. Even after ten minutes in the glass, the aromatic profile remains remarkably stable, suggesting excellent aging potential for this vintage.
The wine keeps its pace throughout, developing a silky texture lifted by citrus zest and fresh butter notes.
Millésime 2018
Premier Cru
Jean-Luc Gimonnet
Now entering the first stages of maturity, it captivates with its radiant freshness, velvety texture and refined mineral character, achieving a balance of remarkable finesse.
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.
