Champagne 'CUIS' Premier Cru Blanc de Blanc Brut 375 ml

The Champagne Cuis Premier Cru is the entry point to Gimonnet’s fine range. And what an entry! Lively, fresh, sparkling, perfectly balanced — this is the pure style of Pierre Gimonnet et Fils. Rarely has an entry-level cuvée delivered such pleasure and raised expectations for the higher tiers. Those, incidentally, did not disappoint.
Gimonnet takes a meticulous approach for this Champagne. Since 1982, the reserve wines have been aged in bottles on the fine lees rather than in barrels. According to Gimonnet, no other Champagne house practices this. The great advantage is that the wines retain almost all their freshness and liveliness with this method of ageing. This also explains the incredibly fresh style of this wonderful Champagne.
The blend is correspondingly extensive; no fewer than six vintages were used for the 375 ml bottles: base vintage 2021 at 70%, complemented by 17.3% from 2020, 6.3% from 2018, 2.3% from 2017 & 2015, 1.8% from 2014. Bottle ageing is at least 12 months; dosage is 5.5 grams residual sugar.
