1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut

Score

91

"The entry-level bottling from the estate's home village of Cuis is always Didier Gimonnet's priority, despite the house having holdings throughout the Côte des Blancs. The village's cool, north-facing aspect comes across in the wine's crispy-fresh, delicate build, bright with lemon macaron and pear juice, but the unusual addition of 27% reserve wine aged in magnums adds a touch of creamy almond depth. Based on the taut, almost nervy 2021 vintage, showing assured purity and zip."

"Subtle aromas of citrus fruit, pear, lemon curd and chalk. Fresh and crisp on the medium-bodied palate, with mineral notes and fine bubbles. Clean and balanced with a lot of freshness and vibrancy. Delicate, creamy aftertaste. Drink now."

"Graceful and minerally, this bright Champagne dances across the palate, with a chalky underpinning, refreshing acidity and well-meshed flavors of ripe pear, almond skin, biscuit, preserved lemon and white blossoms. Disgorged April 2023. Drink now. 1,250 cases imported."
