Inproved massively over 2 days opened in the fridge, limestone, fruit and good acidity balance - semi long finish and after a more sharpness after opening developed into a nice complex champagne…very nice indeed and good for several more years!

Degorgement 2020, base vintages 2015 - 2018. The basic blanc de blancs, the cuvée Cuis 1er cru, from Pierre Gimonnet is already impressive champagne, this here is even better. While not quite as strict and zippy, instead with a touch more generosity and texture, even a hint of red fruit, this seems like the better balanced champagne, however, without sacrifycing cut and detail. It reminds me of Henriot with its understated and mineral character. Overall this is very classy and elegant BdB and its pale colour suits it nicely.
