Champagne Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Oenophile Non-Dosé 2018
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceOenophile is the same cuvée as Fleuron, but with zero dosage. Didier Gimonnet believes dosage is an important part of vinification and Champagne, so is typically against the style, although he was one of the first to make a 0 dosage champagne back in 1985. This blends 40% Cramant, 24% Chouilly, 3% Oger (all GCs) with 23% Cuis and 10% Vertus (1er Crus). All were fermented in stainless with full MLF. This bottle was disgorged in December 2024. Green apple, lemon, subtle anise, wet chalk streak across the palate, lit with energy, and lingering with a humming salinity. Super smart, as ever.Tasted: 05 November 2025Tasted by: Prices:

Didier Gimonnet believes dosage is an important part of vinification and Champagne, so is typically against the style, although he was one of the first to make a 0 dosage champagne back in 1985. This is from Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Cuis, fermented in stainless with full MLF. It was disgorged in October 2023. Like all their wines, this is precise and poised, though this particular cuvée streaks across the palate like a lightning bolt. Smouldering stones, chalk, green apple, and lemon pith rule the taut, straight palate, finishing with a lingering buzzy salinity. Electric. 7500 bottles produced.Tasted: 29 November 2024Tasted by: Prices:
