2008 Champagne Gimonnet 1er Cru Guette Blanc de Blancs
The Gimonnet family has cultivated vines in Champagne since the 18th century. The official domaine was founded in 1935, operating today as a grower. They have 28 hectares of vineyards spanning both Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages (Cuis, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Vertus, Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ). They specialise in Blanc de Blancs Champagnes with a focus on terroir expression, finesse, minerality, and elegance.
Tasting Note: The 2008 vintage, spent 13 years on lees before disgorgement, is a light straw gold hue with lovely fine delicate bubbles. It almost feels like a blend of a high end Meursault and top vintage champagne, a nose of Anjou pears and apple with hint of citrus, along with classic brioche notes, it evolves on the palate with creamy notes and baked spiced apples with a touch of hazelnuts before a velvety long finish that has a balanced acidity through out. For those interested it is Extra Brut with 4g/l.
Alc: 12.5%
Blend: Chardonnay
