The 2016 vintage is characterized by tension and energy. The aroma reveals lemon peel, green apple, white peaches, and flowers, gradually complemented by brioche, toasted almonds, dried fruits, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is very precise and "vertical" – the acidity is bright yet elegant, the bubbles are extremely fine, and the texture is creamy. The taste unveils citrus concentration, salty chalk, and a subtle nutty layer of maturity. The finish is long, dry, and very clean, with a mineral tension.

"Spécial Club" is the highest classification for grower Champagne, signifying only the best cuvée of a specific vintage from the house. These wines are made only from selected plots and released only when their quality is approved by both the family and the "Club Trésors de Champagne" committee.

About the manufacturer

Pierre Gimonnet & Fils is a family-owned Champagne house located in the village of Cuis, in the Côte des Blancs region, and is considered one of the most important Blanc de Blancs specialists in the entire Champagne world. Their history dates back to the 18th century, but their modern identity was shaped by the generation of the Gimonnet family who deliberately chose an almost exclusive focus on Chardonnay and refined their style to maximum elegance and precision. The house's philosophy is based on the idea that Champagne should be a "transparent" reflection of its terroir: minimal intervention in the cellar, no excessive oak, very controlled aging on lees, and extremely careful blending of different plots from Cuis and surrounding Grand Cru vineyards. Due to this approach, Gimonnet Champagnes are characterized by exceptional freshness, chalky mineral tension, and a very precise structure that offers both accessibility in youth and serious aging potential.
