Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Chouilly Grand Cru 2016.
"All in lightness" Finesse and elegance, with an ultra-chalky texture
The "Chouilly Grand Cru" Vintage is their only cuvée that comes from several plots, but a single lieu-dit: "Montaigu." Its style represents the archetype of fine, delicate, and creamy "blanc de blancs" Champagne. Very "Gimonnet" in its identity.
While they are die-hard advocates of blending “different terroirs” to achieve greater complexity and balance… While with 12 hectares of grand cru, they have never produced a pure “grand cru” Special Club, because they always add a little “Cuis 1er Cru” to bring the freshness, essential to their style…
- BOTTLING: 27th April 2017
- AGEING IN BOTTLE: More than 5 years.
- DISGORGEMENT: 3 Months Before Shipping.
- DOSAGE: EXTRA BRUT 4,5 g/L of sugar.
- ANNUAL PRODUCTION: 3,883 Bottles.
