Why do we love it?

Champagne Gimonnet Special Club 2016 is the ultimate expression of the unique terroir of Cotes de Blancs. Rich mineral character, with characteristic lemony aromas, framed by buttery notes, moves and challenges all lovers of aristocratic gastronomic pleasure!

The ancestors of the Pierre Gimonnet & Fils house have been cultivating vineyards since 1750, while their first winemaking was carried out in 1935, by Pierre himself. Then his son Michel continued the family tradition which today evolves in the hands of the 3rd generation, Olivier and Didier Gimonnet.

For Champagne Gimonnet Special Club 2016, 100% grapes from the Chardonnay variety, from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant, Chouilly, and Cuis 1er Cru, were used. The age of the vines reaches even 100 years, giving the characteristic complexity of chalk aromas. It was prepared using the traditional champagne method, while the 5-year stay in the bottle with the fine wine lees gave the ultimate creamy texture.

It is a champagne that loves caviar and any umami flavor that stands next to it.
