Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Special Club Champagne 2015 Cramant 75cl
Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Cramant is the top Champagne from this Blanc de Blancs specialist. Obtained from Gimonnet's oldest vines, between 40 and 100 years old. This brings extraordinary mineral depth, as the old vines have developed such deep roots in the chalky soils. Cramant is widely considered to be one of the best crus in Champagne, consistently producing silky, elegant, complex wines. This vintage Champagne is aged for at least 5 years on lees and given a low dosage, resulting in a very dry, complex and detailed wine. Of the single-terroir Champagnes from Gimonnet, this has the most depth and elegance.

"Very deep and concentrated with fantastic mineral freshness lifting the substantial body, this is a sparkling chardonnay masterpiece. Great candied-citrus and chalky complexity at the expansive finish, yet this remains so pure and straight. From vines planted in 1911 and 1982." 96 Points - James Suckling
Grape: Chardonnay
2015 is considered as one of the great recent vintages. It was marked by hot and dry conditions, which reduced yields due to water stress. Disease pressure was low and the small crop produced was exceptional quality, with intense, ripe, rich fruit.
This has tightly wound notes of citrus, chalk, almond, white peach and spring blossoms. The palate is intense and generous, with ample body and power, all kept in check with taut acidity and the low dosage. This is serious Champagne, and will age into something very special and complex, if cellared well.
A special match for shellfish and crustacea. Full-bodied enough to pair well with chicken or pork dishes.
