"I like the savory oyster-shell and iodine hints to the dried-citrus and pastry aromas. Some salted caramel, too. It's fresh and creamy with silky bubbles. Disgorged in 2024. Dosage 5g/L. Drink now."

"Gimonnet's 2020 Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Gastronome, disgorged in July 2024 with four grams per liter dosage, is a considerable step up from the non-vintage cuvées. Soaring from the glass with scents of citrus fruit, fresh hazelnut and white flowers, it is ample and textural, structured around ripe but vibrant acids and concluding with a chalky finish. Gimonnet aficionados will remember this is a wine that's produced with lower pressure, hence the smoother mousse."

"A fresh, focused Champagne, with smoke and oyster shell notes serving as a minerally overtone for the fine, lively bead and flavors of nectarine, salted almond, white blossoms and Meyer lemon peel. Disgorged September 2022. Drink now through 2028. 150 cases imported."
