The quintessential Chardonnay aperitif Champagne, from a family that has farmed the chalk of the Cote des Blancs since 1750. Pierre Gimonnet et Fils built its reputation on pristine, mineral Blanc de Blancs, and this Cuis 1er Cru bottling is the purest expression of their style — all Chardonnay, drawn largely from a north-facing village prized for its bright, cool-climate acidity. Fermented in stainless steel to protect that freshness, then aged well over two years on the lees with a generous portion of older reserve wine for depth. Now guided by Didier Gimonnet, the estate farms parcels with vines often past 40 years old. Crisp, chalk-driven, and endlessly refreshing — the kind of Champagne you reach for again and again.

"I tasted two different versions of Gimonnet's signature NV Cuis 1er Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs earlier this year; both were excellent as usual. The most recent disgorgement from January 2015 is based on the 2011 vintage (+ 22% Réserve wines), and is very pure, lovely, fresh and delicate on the typically intense, chalky/mineral, well balanced and elegant palate. The lighthearted yet quite complex wine was disgorged with a dosage of 6.5 grams per liter. The forerunner, based on 2008 and disgorged in October 2014, was even finer and provided with a very god length." —Robert Parker

"100% Chardonnay. Didier Gimonnet’s aspiration for his entry NV is a cuvée with attack on the front, roundness in the middle and crispness on the end. The singular expression of his home village of Cuis, it is softened with reserves of the previous year’s blend, aged in magnums. The result is the quintessential aperitif, and one of the most pristine Champagnes for its price. The north-facing elegance of this village lets fine salt-chalk minerality sing in harmony with crystalline acidity."

Wine Spectator

"Firm and well-knit, this lacy version offers a subtle mix of Dijon pear, smoke, fleur de sel, fresh ginger and slivered almond notes."

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"The wine is soft and rounded although unmistakably from Chardonnay in the chalky Côte des Blancs. Crisp apples have a light creaminess as well as lively acidity. Coming from Premier Cru vineyards, it shows a strongly mineral character that is filled out by the ripe fruitiness."

Dry and lively, with lemon, green apple, and white peach over pronounced chalky minerality. Fine mousse, racy acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish.

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!
