Champagne Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Special Club Cramant Grand Cru 2017
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. The 2017 Cramant came from a handful of their plots from 40-100 years old, was fermented in stainless, with full MLF, and spent 5 years sur lattes before disgorgement in summer 2023 with 4 g/L. Tight lemon pith, green apple, and meringue wrap around a creamy core, and stretch long on the chalky palate. Finely boned and structural, this has a delicate, graceful, old vine power, finishing with lingering salinity.Tasted: 29 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $200.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
