Delicious with Burrata, Sliced Peaches, Greens drizzled in light Olive Oil & Tondo Balsamic Vinegar over Holy Moly Batard Crostini’s made from Companion Bake Shop.

I have come to fully embrace cuvées from Gimonnet & the quality & value they bring over higher priced champagnes.

Nice fuller body. Yellow stone fruit-peaches, nectarines, Bosc Pear, bruised green & red apple, tropical melons, overripe pineapple flesh with heavy juice, hints of ginger ale, graham cracker, baguette crust, understated yeasty notes, very soft white spice, chalky powder, sea spray, limestone powder w/ volcanic minerals, yellow flowers, jasmine, rainfall acidity with elegance & smartly polished finish that last just over a minute and lands on gentle minerality.

Resellers tab this Brut but it comes in a 4.5g, which makes it an Extra Brut.

Vineyards: 60% Cramant Grand Cru, 30% Chouilly Grand Cru & 10% Cuis 1er Cru

100% Chardonnay. Rested 6 years on the lees.

Disgorged 1/19.

This also finished up the night well with Key Lime Tart w/ Graham Cracker Crust. — 5 days ago

Decanted for about 2-3 hours before serving. Incredible nose and flavor profile. Very gamey. Lots of stewed fruit. Little medicinal. But came through and paired exceedingly well with lamb kebabs.

Had a little funk as it aired out but really sang at hour 4-5. Good grip. Will be excited to open the next one — 3 months ago

Light like a feather. Quite stinky on the nose. Drink now! 13.5%. Brown tinge. Touch oxidized. Subdued cherry, orange zest. Very fine grained tannins. A touch more fruit would be nice. At this point tastes like an old Burgh. Definitely drink up this will not further improve. Was fun with black cod prepared a la Nobu. Would i buy this again (No). This is in the end not one the producers in Burgundy which i would recommend (based on multiple bottles including GC’s over time). — 4 months ago

When in Chateauneuf du Pape… great white. Lighter in style but very good. Visited the winery and their reds are extremely good — a month ago

This Chateauneuf-du-pape is incredible! Cannot wait to pair it with my spaghetti bolognese. — 4 months ago

This shows some barnyard, horsey notes up front, likely Brett, but for more Brett-tolerant folks like me, it’s the lovely fresh redfruits underneath and crisp and lively acidity, together with the lingering finish, that make this a lovely CdP!! But I would note for those who are very Brett-intolerant, you may not care for it at all. — a month ago
