$155.00

This is absolutely outstanding Champagne from standout producer Pierre Gimonnet et Fils, which is now run by Pierre's grandson, Didier. The Gimonnet family holds 28 hectares of vineyards, primarily in the chardonnay dominated Côtes de Blancs. Among them, 11 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards in the villages of Chouilly and Cramant where this 2015 bottling comes from. A blend of Grand Cru plots in Chouilly, the 2015 is rich and creamy, while retaining an elegant mouthfeel and a racy streak of acid for freshness. With 60 months on the lees, this has developed beautifully and is certainly worthy of a special occasion.
