January 13, 2024 - Thought I’d try their N/V after enjoying their 16 Grand Cru Special Cru so much. It’s nice but not the life changing 2016. 100% Chardonnay.
Seems like there is some wood in this or saw some air during fermentation. Apple, pear, touch of pineapple, nice mousse, white citrus blend, baguette crust, yeasty, bread dough, graham cracker, limestone marl, chalkiness that grips with a sharp press into the palate, white spice, sea fossils, light saline, white flowers, excellent crisp acidity and an excellently balanced, well structured & balanced finish that lasts a full minute. -

January 12, 2024 - Base vintage 2017 (73%), reserve 2010-15, disgorged July 2021.
A really awesome introductory Blanc de Blanc from Gimonnet.
Bouquet with lemon curd, hazelnuts, slight brioche and a slight peppery note.
Should nicely develop for a decade or more. -

December 31, 2023 - So good. Toasty, creamy, green fruit, citrus, nuts. Perfect acidity and balance. Doesn’t last too long. Great taste with low dosage as I prefer. Exactly what you’d want for a blanc de blancs. As compared to other ones which may not be as complex.
