Pierre Gimonnet, Blanc De Blancs

Pierre Gimonnet is one of the smaller grower houses of Champagne that absolutely deserves discovering.  The Gimonnet family have been cultivating their vines in the villages of  Cuis, Cramant, and Chouilly, on Champagne's famous Cote des Blancs, since 1750. The Gimonnet's restrict themselves to working solely with Chardonnay sourced from high quality plots on the Cotes des Blancs. The Blanc de Blancs has a fresh and youthful style on the nose, floral with a hint of nuts.  The palate is lively with lots of fruit and defining acidity.
