The elaboration of the Gastronome 2020 champagne Pierre Gimonnet

The Gastronome 2020 champagne is composed of 100% Chardonnay, mainly from the grand crus of the Côte des Blancs. This 2020 vintage expresses all the subtlety of the emblematic terroirs such as Cuis 1er Cru, Cramant Grand Cru, Chouilly Grand Cru and Oger Grand Cru. The 2020 harvest was particularly marked by favorable weather, with balanced temperatures, thus offering grapes of optimal maturity and beautiful acidity.

The winemaking is carried out with fractional pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in vats for 8 months, then aged on lees in the bottle for more than 3 years, allowing it to gain structure and complexity. This cuvée is then dosed at 5 g/L, a light dosage that preserves all the purity of the Chardonnay.
