Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Fleuron Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2008
Didierandnbsp;Gimonnetandnbsp;is the president of the Special Club, andandnbsp;overseesandnbsp;28 hectares of his familyand#39;s vines, many in their home village ofandnbsp;Cuis, where the family settled in 1935. The hallmark of the house is blending; Didier will rarely produce a andquot;monocruandquot; wine in the style ofandnbsp;Chartogne-Taillet; he finds that blending andndash; as well as always including a pinch of juice from his village ofandnbsp;Cuisandnbsp;andndash; brings more complexity and harmonious balance to a wine. All parcels are vinifiedandnbsp;separately, and there is no use of oak in the cellar.andnbsp; Gimonnetand#39;sandnbsp;twoandnbsp;Tandecirc;te-de-cuvandeacute;esandnbsp;are his Special Club wines and the Fleuron. Fleuron is predominantlyandnbsp;Chouillyandnbsp;andandnbsp;Cramantandnbsp;Chardonnay, with the remainder fromandnbsp;Cuis, Oger andandnbsp;Vertus. This bottling was disgorged in 2015, and is just starting to come into its own, as 2008 was a vintage of both concentration and incredible brightness. Expect more on the baking spice and brioche spectrum, complemented by soft citrus tones.andnbsp;

This is delicious. Bright, sweet round the edges, lovely with great minerality and good length. Some time ahead but delicious now. From mag

2008 Gimmonet and pizza. Nose of bread and yeast flavours and tropical fruits like pine apple and bananas. Dripping and fat, this hawaii pizza should have stayed a few more min in the oven. Oh, and the Gimmonet was as fresh and delightful as always.
