As for pairings, opt for seafood dishes such as oysters, shellfish, or a monkfish terrine. A refreshing prawn and citrus salad, a sea bass carpaccio with lemon and pink pepper, or grilled red mullet fillets with lemon elegantly complement this gastronomic proposal, as do a scallop risotto or clams in parsley-infused broth.
This visual composition captures the essence of a wine that is both mature and imbued with timeless elegance.
As it gradually warms, the aromatic expression shifts towards a more maritime register, unveiling echoes of seaweed and iodine once again. This olfactory profile, marked by extraordinary refinement and precision, gains complexity over time, revealing smoky and toasted notes.
The aromatic bouquet seems to express its depth with patience, revealing its full character in its own time.
This cuvée stands out for its radiant freshness and impeccable linearity. The dosage is imperceptible, enhancing the chalky and saline character that emerges mid-palate.
The texture is of rare delicacy, evoking the lightness and refined touch of taffeta. This sensory purity accentuates the sensations of youthfulness, vibrancy, and minerality.
A conclusion of great precision, both vibrant and refined.
Sélection Blanc de Blancs
Premier Cru
Jean-Luc Gimonnet
Passionate artisan and proud heir to a long dynasty of Vignerons, my loyalty to the terroir is not just a tradition, but a quest for authenticity that animates my work everyday.
The unique terroir of Cuis, with its predominance of chalk, is my canvas. It allows me to sculpt wines with a soul, creations that narrate the story of their origin with every sip. The aging process on lees, ranging from 7 years for our youngest Cuvées to over 20 years for the exceptional vintages, is a testament to patience and devotion. Each added year contributes to enriching their character, like a work of art that improves over time. For me, the creation of each Cuvée is comparable to haute couture: it requires not just thousands of hours of hard work, but also impeccable precision and creativity.
It's these moments of pure creation that fuel my passion and reinforce my commitment to excellence.
