The 2019 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Fleuron Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs is the house’s flagship vintage Champagne, crafted from 100% Chardonnay sourced from top Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis. It reflects the essence of the vintage, combining richness, precision and the signature mineral style of the Côte des Blancs. The nose is refined and expressive, showing notes of candied lime, green apple and lemon zest, layered with hints of pastry, brioche and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine mousse and vibrant acidity, delivering citrus and orchard fruit flavours balanced by a creamy texture and strong mineral backbone. The finish is long, precise and slightly saline, combining freshness with depth and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout grower Champagne and a great alternative to prestige cuvées from larger houses. It offers both immediate appeal and serious aging potential. Drink now with aeration or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with oysters, lobster or fine seafood dishes.
