Taste Block

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in the glass with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens with lemon peel, green apple, and white flowers, followed by crushed chalk and subtle almond. On the palate, the wine is taut and focused, showing citrus-driven acidity, firm mineral structure, and restrained orchard fruit. Lees aging adds a quiet creaminess through the mid-palate without softening the wine’s overall drive. The finish is long and dry, marked by saline notes and lingering chalk.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Blanc de blancs champagnes naturally fit with seafood platters or oysters. Some recommend lobster for pairing vintage blanc de blancs, and while that would work here, I’d suggest saving that pairing for when you want to impress or when you need a balm for the week. Fresh, soft cheeses (try this with cheese from Champagne like Langres, Vignotte, or Chaource-it’s stunning), lemon chicken, fried foods in general, creamy pasta or risotto, sushi, or anything that leans toward salty, briny flavors will be *chef’s kiss* perfect. We’re sharing two recipes today, the first featuring Rotisserie chicken as the main ingredient and the second, Lobster Risotto, to highlight that you can have a delicious, decadent pairing without too much time or trouble.

Producer Block

About the Producer

In 1935, Pierre Gimonnet decided to begin bottling Champagne under the family name. At the time, this was a difficult step—both economically and stylistically. Blanc de Blancs Champagne was not yet widely embraced by consumers, and the market favored established houses over small, independent producers. Pierre Gimonnet built the domaine slowly, focusing on vineyard quality, restrained yields, and precision in the cellar rather than scale.
