Pierre Gimonnet

Cuvée Fleuron 2010 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Olivier and Didier Gimonnet's Cuvée Fleuron 2010 showcases the very best of the estate's vintages. By selecting the best of the year's production, the Gimonnet brothers obtain a cuvée that offers unique harmony and balance.

So, for this 2010 vintage, the blend is based on 40% Chardonnays from the Grand Cru terroir of Cramant, which brings roundness, and 27% Chardonnays from Chouilly, another Grand Cru terroir, which brings fruitiness and elegance. Then there's 6% from Oger Grand Cru, for a touch of spice, 17% from the Premier Cru terroir of Cuis for freshness, and finally 10% from Vertus (Premier Cru) for a little more substance.

Cuvée Fleuron 2010 is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its purity. Malolactic fermentation was carried out to give the wine a little more suppleness. Finally, the dosage is Extra Brut, around 5g/l, to underline the wine's freshness.

Cuvée Fleuron 2010 has a brilliant gold color. Its bubbles are fine and lively.

On the nose, this champagne evokes citrus and yellow fruit. After a few moments, greedier notes of brioche and spices emerge.

On the palate, Fleuron 2010 has a lovely, lively, straightforward attack. The palate is full, with fruity aromas. The finish is taut, fresh, and vibrates for long seconds.
