Champagne Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club Cramant Grand Cru 2016
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceSpecial Club (Club Trésors) is an invite-only group of 25ish grower champagne vignerons, recognized for the quality of their wines. A Special Club champagne is different from their other cuvées, can only be made in outstanding vintage years, and is packaged in the special distinctive bottle. From selected plots from 40-100 years old, this was fermented in stainless, with full MLF, and spent 5+ years sur lattes before disgorgement with 4 g/L. This opens with waves of flinty reduction before moving to a deep, savoury palate of burnished lemon, heady chalk, meringue, and ample flake salts. Dense yet elegant, savoury yet finessed, this memorable wine stands out.Tasted: 30 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $200.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
