Pierre Gimonnet & Fils "Cuvée Cuis" 1er Cru NV
Champagne, France
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only Champagne to make Wine Spectator’s exclusive “Top 100” list is the Pierre Gimonnet & Fils "Cuvée Cuis" 1er Cru Brut Champagne!
Known for its lively cut, fresh streaming bubbles and delicious Blanc de Blancs opulence, this longtime Vin Chicago favorite is crafted entirely with estate-grown Chardonnay from Champagne's Premier Cru village of Cuis.
Deliciously dry, it is a perpetual blend featuring vintages back to 2014. It was disgorged in June 2024 with a dosage of 6 g/l. Nervy and generous, its subtle electricity is balanced by a decadent roundness that makes it perfect for drinking by itself, with oysters or buttermilk fried chicken!
“There's a subtle succulence to this graceful Champagne, framing flavors of peach skin, ripe pear, Marcona almond and orchard blossoms. The fine, detailed mousse is raw silk–like in texture. Finishes with minerally fleur de sel and oyster shell notes. Disgorged December 2023. Drink now through 2029.”
