The presentation is surprisingly youthful.

Olfactory analysis
The first nose is elegant and expresses itself with discretion. We immediately perceive notes of acacia and cream puffs with a background of marine minerality.
After aeration, the expression becomes richer and more mature with notes of cooked fruit. The air hold is magnificent. mentholated notes bring freshness and confirm the excellent health of the wine.
Finesse, preciseness and elegance are the words that come to mind.

Taste analysis
The first impression on the palate is sharp and the effervescence immediately covers the palate. It leads to a stunning palate texture. The acidity, of a remarkable quality, and the body of the wine blend beautifully with the effervescence.
The whole is lean, saline and refreshing, suggesting the structure of silk. The result is a feeling of purity that enhances the wine's sublime acid line and its light roasting aromas.
A magnificent example of champenois balance!

The final
The finish is direct, fluid and still fresh.
It leaves a delicate chalky and saline with aromas of caramel but also crustacean shell that are the mark of the beautiful processing of this wine. The last impression suggests grapefruit zest.

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 every
day.
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.
