At the table, a sole meunière, a turbot, scallops...
As it warms up, minerality appears and the expression becomes more maritime. After a few minutes, it is autumn, with notes of undergrowth and cooked fruit
This Grande Réserve reveals its complexity by expressing, at the same time, primary, secondary and tertiary aromas.
The second part of the palate becomes warm and the aromatic character is coloured by aromas of nougat and cooked pear.
The whole generates a very pleasant, soft, warm and fluid texture, suggesting the elegance of fine cottons.
The aromas persist for about 10 seconds, leaving an impression of pastry, chalk and slight saltiness.
Grande Réserve
Jean-Luc Gimonnet
It celebrates and offers us, respecting the purity of classicism champenois, the characteristics and typicality of its terroir, Cuis, in the Côte des Blancs.
Passionate artisan and proud heir to a long dynasty of Vignerons, my loyalty to theterroir 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 originwith every sip.The aging process on lees, ranging from 7 years for our youngest Cuvées to over 20years for the exceptional vintages, is a testament to patience and devotion.Each added year contributes to enriching their character, like a work of art thatimproves over time.For me, the creation of each Cuvée is comparable to haute couture: it requires notjust thousands of hours of hard work, but also impeccable precision and creativity. It'sthese moments of pure creation that fuel my passion and reinforce my commitmentto excellence.
