Pierre Gimonnet & Fils
Since always, when Gimonnet planted their first hectares in Cuis, they have carefully selected Premiers Cru and Grand Cru vineyards exclusively located in the Côte des Blancs. The Domaine now stretches over 29.40 hectares, located in this special stretch of land: its chalky subsoil allows the noble Chardonnay vine to reign supreme:
Cuis since the beginning
Chouilly (including 3 hectares of ‘Montaigu’, planted in 1951),
Cramant (since 1958, coming in large part from our mother, née Larmandier),
Oger since 2005, Vertus since 2008.
The Pierre Gimonnet & Fils House put down its roots in these terroirs more than two centuries ago and continues to expand its estate there. Since 2016, 50 ares have been added to their vineyard in Cuis, the corner stone of their house and the backbone of the non-vintage brut champagne.
These acclaimed terroirs of the Côte des Blancs provide for all their production – 100% of the grapes they use are their own.
They have an atypical profile for a wine grower, giving the size and location of their vineyards. This is one of their family House’s advantages.
For decades, they observed and cultivated with passion and respect the land. In doing so, they have enriched their knowledge and understanding of the great Chardonnays of Champagne. This expertise leads them to becoming one of the most important, and recognised, producers of ‘Blanc de Blancs’ champagnes.
Now, Gimonnet is synonym with the great Chardonnays of the Cote-des-Blancs and Blanc de Blancs the true signature of the House.
