$129.99
Use code 10OFF to get 10% off 12+ bottles

Fantastic, cellar-worthy Special Club Champagne made mostly from Cramant, but supported from other chalky vineyards in the Cote des Blancs. Made in Gimonnet's intense, mineral-focused style. 

Jeb Dunnuck: "Entirely Chardonnay and coming from the villages of Cramant, Chouilly, and Cuis, the shimmering yellow-golden 2016 Champagne Special Club Extra Brut is rounded and attractive with aromas of fresh baked croissant, honeyed green apple, and lemon bars. Approachable and medium-bodied, it fills the palate with an elegant mousse, a soft texture of citrus oil, and a clean, chalky finish. It's already showing balanced layers and classic charm with a promising ability to enjoy over the coming 12 or more years. Disgorged April 2023, it has the addition of 4 grams per liter dosage. 95"

More about Pierre Gimonnet Et Fils

Champagne house in Cuis (Premier Cru) with 25 hectares planted exclusively to Chardonnay. They've been at this since 1750, growing grapes, and bottling estate Champagne since 1935.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
