Summary
Gimonnet is a well regarded grower-producer located in the Premier Cru village of Cuis. In addition to their vineyards in Cuis, the family also owns property in Vertus, Chouilly, Cramant, and Oger, as well as a small Pinot Noir plot in Aÿ and Marieul-sur-Aÿ. They have old vines averaging 35 years of age, somewhat of an anomaly to the area. All of the Blanc de Blanc wines are blends of the various villages, and Gimonnet, though they have Grand Cru holdings, prefers a blend across vineyards. All wines are fermented in stainless steel in order to preserve the freshness of the Chardonnay grape variety.
Style & Vinification Techniques
All base wines are fermented in stainless steel in order to preserve the freshness of the Chardonnay grape variety. Wines generally receive a low dosage for their Brut designation.
