Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Brut Cuis 1er Cru

Lively, airy, salivating, perfectly balanced... this cuvée represents the archetype of the Pierre Gimonnet et Fils style. Every year, they use all the wines they need to reproduce this House style: it is the priority cuvée of the Domaine. To do this, they make sure to combine wines of the year with reserve wines of several years in a very subtle way. To succeed in this delicate and fundamental step, Pierre Gimonnet et Fils has opted to keep all its reserve wines in bottles (on fine lees) and not in vats (which makes it possible to incorporate wines over two years old that have kept all their freshness).

 This blending method is very rare: they are the only Champagne winemaker to keep all the reserve wines in bottles, and have done so since 1982.

This exemplary Blanc de Blancs style non-vintage champagne is perfect as an aperitif for any occasion. The nose is delicately floral with hints of sweet white peach. The steady stream of fine bubbles gives this champagne an energetic mouth-feel and the stone fruit really develops on the palate along with hints of freshly-baked brioche and mineral undertones. The finish is long, crisp and refreshing with a distinct nuttiness finding its way through. This is a vibrant champagne of outstanding quality.
