Champagne Pierre Gimonnet & Fils is located in the premier cru village of Cuis in the Cote de Blancs. Although the actual winery was established in 1935, the family has been growing grapes in the region since 1750. Didier Gimonnet, Pierre’s grandson, is now the next generation to oversee the estate, which comprises ~14 hectares each of premier cru and grand cru vineyards. One of the many unique aspects of the house is that over seventy percent of their vineyards are now over 30 years old, while around forty percent are over 40 years old, making them the envy of many rival champagne houses. They also have 100+ year-old vines in two grand cru vineyards in the village of Cramant. They are one of the founding twelve members of the "Special Club" of Grower Champagne producers and one of only three original members still participating. They are considered a benchmark for all of Champagne and represent a permanent value for the region.

A very pale rosé champagne with delicate strawberry and raspberry aromas, but this is as much about the elegance of chardonnay as anything else. Long, filigree finish that’s all berry flavors and hard to resist! A cuvée of 94% chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Cuis and Vertus with 6% pinot noir from Bouzy. Disgorged in October, 2021 and with very low dosage for this category. Drink now. - James Suckling

The NV Brut Rose de Blancs is a super-classic Gimonnet wine bristling with energy. The current release is based on 2018 and is predominantly Chardonnay (from Luis and Versus) with a splash (5%) of Pinot from Cumieres. Crushed red berries, flowers, chalk and white pepper lend brilliance to this taut, chiseled Rose. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: December, 2020. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The 2015 Champagne Cuvée Paradoxe Brut moves into more yellow orchard fruit and tangerine aromas, with a hint of savory quinine. The palate is tension-driven, though not overbearing or austere. Pithy, with a hint of smoke and salty earth, and maybe some white pepper spice, it would make a great accompanying wine for the table to drink over the next 8-10 years. - Jeb Dunnuck

2016 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cramant Grand Cru

95 JS / 93 VM

Deep nose of preserved and candied lemons with bread dough and toasted baguette. Concentrated and well structured, but the chalky minerality and the lively fine mousse give this a wonderful brightness and energy. Long really crystalline finish. From vines planted between 1911 and 1982 in the Terres des Buissons, Bauves and Champ de Prevot sites. Bottled in April 2017 and disgorged in November 2022. Drink or hold. - James Suckling  

The 2016 Extra Brut Spécial Club Cramant Grand Cru is airy and light on its feet. A Champagne of total understatement, this hovers over the palate with sublime finesse. This is 100% Chardonnay sourced from a blend of multiple old vine Grand Cru plots (some more than 100 years old). Crushed rocks, lemon peel, mint, white flowers, pear and tangerine oil all take shape. The Cramant is not an obvious or overt Champagne, but it is undeniably beautiful and alluring. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2022. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
