Champagne Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Dose
Special 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.
"Pie crust, chalk, grapefruit and nutmeg on the nose of this chalky, minerally Champagne. Tight and driven, with sharp acidity and very fine bubbles. Delicious sea salt and citrus notes come through at the end. 100% chardonnay from Caramant. 3 g/L dosage. Disgorged February 2024. Drink or hold.” - 95 points, Claire Nesbitt, JamesSuckling.com
