Jean Gimonnet 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne La Guette 2008

Tasting Notes: A nose rich in ripe yellow fruit, citrus and hints of bread crust. On the palate it is pleasantly round, maintaining a marked dryness due to the natural sugar dosage. Balanced, soft and creamy with sweet butter and brioche flavours. Persistent and intense finish, with a nice minerality. Pungent and acidic. 36 months on the lees. The 2008 La Guette is a cuvée from the best Premier Cru plots of the winery. 100% Chardonnay, disgorged after 13 years on the fine lees in October 2022.

Jean Luc Gimonnet has been passionate about vines and their terroir since his early childhood, he took over the family estate from his father in 1996. A transmission of values, a terroir and its heritage that has endured over time.

Suggested food and wine pairing: To be paired with seafood & shellfish, fine cheese & delicate starters or poultry & white meats.
