The family house Pierre Gimonnet & Fils focuses exclusively on Chardonnay from its own Grand and Premier Cru plots in the prestigious Côte des Blancs area. One of the characteristic differences is very small volumes, which allows to treat each cuvee with the utmost respect. The style of the House can be described as "strict luxury", freshness and energy of Chardonnay without a barrel.
This cuvee is crafted according to the little-known concept of «perlé» champagne. Historically created for restaurants (for a glass of champagne or to accompany a meal). This cuvee is made to produce «demi-mousse», in other words, to be gently sparkling. When bottled, the «prise de mousse» responsible for the foam creation in your glass is limited by adding less sugar than usual (20g instead of 24g for full foam). Its foam is thus extraordinarily fine and «creamy» so it intrudes on neither the palate nor the taste buds. Aromas of confit citrus, hazelnuts, buttery pastry and dried fruits, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming champagne.
