Champagne Pierre Gimonnet Special Club Cramant Grand Cru 2017

Champagne from France - Champagne
0 star rating 0 Reviews
The Grand Cru of Cramant is the jewel in Gimonnet's crown, widely regarded as one of the two greatest historical villages of the Côte des Blancs. The Special Club cuvée comes from vines which are 40 years to 100 years+ old and is absolutely beautiful. It has the clear-cut, uncompromising precision and drive of a 100% chardonnay Champagne grown on chalk, displaying pure, crystalline lemon and white peach character, with a cool, chalky minerality at its core. The 2017 vintage was undeniably a tough one in Champagne due to the amount of rainfall, but it was easier in the Côte des Blancs thanks to the free-draining chalky soils. The tension and linearity of this rendition of Cramant will appeal to lovers of taut, nervy blanc de blancs and suggests there is no hurry to drink up.

Pierre Gimonnet

Côte des Blancs, as the name suggests, is all about chardonnay, and all Gimonnet’s wines are 100% chardonnay. The Gimonnets are based in the village of Cuis but also have vineyards in the premier cru site Vertus and in the grand cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly and Oger, with some 40 plots of land in all and a total of 28 hectares.

Olivier and Didier Gimonnet play on the different variations of terroir within these sites to give each of their Champagnes a true sense of place. Common to all their Champagnes however is finesse, minerality, elegance and freshness.

The fruit for the non-vintage Champagne comes from Cuis, which tends to make a delicate fruity style of wine. What is unusual here is the reserve wine which is added, drawn from several vintages, and kept in bottle rather than tank or vat. The result is a wine of great complexity and length of flavour.
