  October 27, 2021 - Presenta un bonito color oro con tendencias cobrizas. Sorprende la ausencia prácticamente total de burbuja ni a la vista, ni al gusto. El aroma es de pan tostado, pastelería, frutos secos y un fondo mineral. En boca es muy suave y equilibrado la sensación que da es esencialmente de mantequilla con pan tostado, el predominio de la mantequilla es absoluto, en consecuencia es graso, y casi viscoso. Notas de evolución que lo hacen ligeramente ajerezado. Un champagne excelente pero para el cual ya pasó su mejor momento, lo que no implica que no se pueda beber y disfrutar

  October 3, 2021 - By the glass. 100% chardonnay. This was the only vintage of the event. Very mellow, smoked, dense, certainly abundant and fully evolved towards bakery notes. Coming from very old vines with malolactic fermentation, it is a champagne of distinction, one that stands out within the extensive range of Gimonnet.

  November 27, 2015 - Disgorged in 2012) Yellow colour with a stream of bubbles. Mature nose showing minerals, hazelnuts and brioche in a wonderful combination. Nice and fruity palate so typical for the vintage with less acidity but a nice and fresh acidic finish. Didn't match the toast with Kalix roe, but was perfect with the fresh lobster! Best 2014-2024.

  May 15, 2015 - - Small pearls - Sour apples on the nose, citrus.
  Very much alive and kicking, with fab mousse.
  Freachness with some sort of acidy drag in the middle, and still some deapth with the fruit. No sign of sweatness whatsoever, No bread. Lovely! Drink now or in 10 years, it does not matter it will be awsome anyway. Mousee mousse mousse!

  August 7, 2014 - Unclean nose. Complex and refined palate, but lacking nerve and concentration
