The 2015 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club “Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay” is a top-tier grower Champagne and the house’s prestige cuvée, crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced from Grand Cru sites in Cramant and Chouilly, with a touch of Cuis for freshness. It represents the finest expression of the estate’s terroir-focused, mineral-driven style. The nose is refined and expressive, showing notes of grapefruit, lemon zest and white flowers, layered with hints of brioche, almond and subtle smokiness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine mousse and vibrant acidity, delivering citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by a chalky, mineral backbone. The finish is long, precise and energetic, combining creamy texture with tension and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious Blanc de Blancs Champagne and one of the best examples of grower “Special Club” wines. It’s mineral, structured and built to age beautifully. Drink now with aeration or cellar through 2035+. Perfect with oysters, lobster or fine seafood dishes.
