2015 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club Grand Terroirs de Chardonnay Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut

Rich and mouth filling with an exceptionally long and complex finish.

Made from 100% Chardonnay it features a satiny mousse over a pale straw coloured base with pale gold tinged edges and a fine, persistent bead. Captivating aromatics of baked bread, yeast lees, pear and citrus are trailed by hints of honeyed cashew and brioche. Rich, mouth filling and creamy textured, the refined and beautifully sculptured palate is shaped by stimulating acidity. Pillowy baked bread, yeast lees, pear and cashew flavours power across the palate with citrus, brioche and subtle oily toast like elements lingering across the back half. Dry chalk tinged finish with an exceptionally long and complex finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
Very complex nose of citrus blossoms, floral honey and brioche with a hint of fresh mushroom. Really concentrated, but so incredibly focused and precise, this is a masterpiece of chardonnay elegance! Very long and extremely mineral finish that lights up the sky like fireworks. A cuvée of wines from the Grand Cru villages of Cramant (60%) and Chouilly (26%) with wine from the 1er Cru village of Cuis (14%), the oldest vines dating back to 1911 and 1913. Drink or hold.
