Description
Maison Gimonnet's Special Club Chouilly Grand Cru 2012 highlights the character of an emblematic Côte des Blancs terroir: Chouilly.
Traditionally, the Special Club cuvée brings out the best of Maison Gimonnet's expertise, blending the estate's different terroirs. But for the first time, with this superb 2012 vintage, Didier and Olivier Gimonnet are creating special editions of Special Club. This is the case here with a cuvée made exclusively from the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly.
It's a Blanc de Blancs champagne made from a single lieu-dit, Montaigu, planted in 1951 and 1991. Only 3003 bottles were produced.
The 2012 vintage is considered a very great one, on a par with the 2008 vintage.
The Spécial Club Chouilly Grand Cru 2012 Gimonnet is vinified in stainless-steel vats to retain maximum freshness. The dosage is extra brut (4g/l), highlighting the liveliness and minerality of this cuvée.
Le Spécial Club Chouilly Grand Cru 2012 is a cuvée with fruity and floral aromas. The palate is lively and mineral, with a touch of roundness. The finish is remarkable, taut and fresh.
Presentation of Olivier and Didier Gimonnet
"While we are die-hard advocates of blending "different terroirs" to achieve greater complexity and balance... While with 12 hectares of grand cru, we have never made a pure "grand cru" Special Club, as we always add a little "Cuis 1er cru" bringing the freshness that is essential to our style... We have decided to create several "Special Club" cuvées from the 2012 vintage...:
- Our "Grands Terroirs de Chardonnay" blend
- And several "Mono-Terroir Grand Cru" cuvées, in limited quantities.
The Spécial Club Choully Grand Cru 2012 is the only one of the 3 mono-terroir cuvées to come from a single lieu-dit".
