The 2016 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club Cramant Grand Cru is a top-tier grower Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced primarily from Grand Cru vineyards in Cramant, with small portions from Chouilly and Cuis to enhance balance and freshness. The nose is refined and expressive, offering notes of lemon, green apple and white flowers, layered with hints of fresh brioche, almond and subtle toasty complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine mousse and vibrant acidity, delivering citrus, orchard fruit and delicate creamy textures balanced by a strong chalky mineral backbone. The finish is long, precise and elegant, combining richness with freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a serious Blanc de Blancs Champagne for collectors and enthusiasts. It’s mineral, complex and built to age beautifully while already showing impressive balance. Drink now with aeration or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with oysters, lobster or fine seafood dishes.
