    April 20, 2024 - More brioche and toast and richness to it. Just plain more, and better than I've had from the house.

    April 19, 2024 - Tiny Lou's Four Course Wine Pairing (Atlanta, GA): Four course wine pairing with friends at Tiny Lou's in Atlanta. Paired with various apps: salad, beef tar tar, fois gras, deviled eggs, bread and butter. The champs was served a bit warmer that I normally like but it was still refreshing and delicious!

    March 27, 2024 - Delicious!

  • Klugi Wine Likes this wine: 90 points

    March 22, 2024 - 2019 base (66%) Rest from 2010-2018. Disgorged 2022.

    Bouquet of stone fruits with some lemon zest, also some mint comes to mind as well as nice brioche creaminess.
    For a more or less entry level Champagne this represents good value.

  • andrewfowler Likes this wine: 89 points

    March 11, 2024 - Nice texture, with fine little bubbles (not that I’m any expert here). Aromas are lemon curd, a brioche and buttered toast character that is almost more shortbread, golden apple, and just a little lavender, putting me in mind of one of my favorite treats in my early 20s, a lavender ice cream sundae with lemon curd and shortbread cookies. Shockingly specific, actually. And pretty darn good grower Champagne.

    2011 Champagne Catalog, 6/1/2011 (link)

    (NV Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Cuis 1er Cru Brut) ($56.00) “Cuvée 133;” a very recent disgorgement (2/11) and quite thorny until it recovers. 72% ’08, 13.3% ’07, 3.3% ’06, 7.5% ’05 and 3.9% ’04. This will be very fine; more overt fruit than last year’s ’07-based cuvée; the finish is classic Gimonnet, refined and complex. Available until mid-Autumn, to be followed by an ’09-based wine, rounder and more open at first glance.

Sommelier Journal

  • By Shayn Bjornholm, MS
    Premiere (link)

    (Pierre Gimonnet Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuis 1er Cru Cuis) Nowhere else do the récoltant-manipulant wines shine as hypervalues as they do in the vintage category. It doesn’t hurt that ’02 is one of the finest vintages of the last half-century. Here, Gimonnet’s skill with Premier-Cru-as-Grand-Cru-worthy Chardonnay is on full display. This bottling’s emerging style of utterly silken elegance above all—above even the obvious midpalate ooomph and the laser-powered, mineral-coated acidity, promising many years of unfolding layers of complexity—makes it a perfectly regal tipple to toast the finest occasion right now.
