Visual analysis 
The robe reveals a luminous lemon-yellow hue, streaked with green-gold reflections. The effervescence is very fine and fast, forming a thin cordon of foam.
The overall appearance conveys both freshness and the first hints of maturity.
Olfactory analysis 
The first nose is fresh and precise, evoking a fragrant spring: Sicilian lemon, rose, lily of the valley, and warm biscuits. vWith aeration, the bouquet gains complexity with acacia honey, bergamot, and a touch of fresh butter.
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.
Taste analysis 
The attack on the palate is light, caressing, and airy, before the body gains energy and liveliness. The effervescence unfolds gracefully, combining with the wine’s vibrant freshness to deliver a tonic, fluid, and delicately sapid sensation. A saline minerality emerges quickly, while the dosage adds a subtle polish.
The wine keeps its pace throughout, developing a silky texture lifted by citrus zest and fresh butter notes.
The final 
The finish is long (nearly 10 seconds), rising on delicate floral aromas perfectly balanced with lingering salinity and freshness.

Jean-Luc Gimonnet

Born from a warm yet effortlessly light vintage, this champagne is now entering the early stages of maturity.
Its radiant freshness, graceful elegance, delicate touch, and luminous minerality make it a benchmark Cuvée.

Discover the Vigneron Jean-Luc Gimonnet
Certified HVE Winemaker

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.
