Gimonnet Brut "Special Club" Millesime de Collection Brut Sparkling Dry Wine Chardonnay 2006 1.5L / Pierre Gimonnet & Fils

«It’s natural to do something well with the finest raw materials but doing something even better than well is harder to achieve».

It demands an almost unbelievably uncompromising attitude at every step of the wine-making process. This, however, is the philosophy of this very great cuvee, making it the quintessential expression of the Pierre Gimonnet & Fils style. To craft it, we use the same blend as the Special Club cuvee, only our vinification choices are different. In order to obtain the quintessential Pierre Gimonnet & Fils style, the «prise de mousse» or second fermentation and the maturing of the wine are done exclusively in magnums. We feel that the exceptional «signature» vintages, known as « Millésime de Collection» can also apply to the «Special Club» cuvee. Only the 2002 and 2008 vintages have had this honor. Very rich yet very «lacy», the Millésime de Collection cuvee develops a background of floral and subtly flinty notes. The generous, harmonious, ethereal mouth of this exceptional wine leaves those who taste it with an unforgettable memory of a great champagne. The Vieilles Vignes de Chardonnay cuvee is truly exceptional, as those who know the Champagne House are well aware!
