Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet Terre de Cramant Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2015 Brut Nature, 0,75 L

This champagne was bottled for the first time in the warm 2015 vintage. The shape of the bottle alone attracts attention, and working with these bottles is quite complicated, as we were able to see for ourselves during our on-site visit. Only 1000 bottles of this ingenious champagne are produced, so the amount we've received is correspondingly small.

Due to the ripeness of the grapes, the champagne didn't require any further dosage. It's dry, but still Brut Nature. On the nose, we experienced the first small surprise; a small part of the wine was aged in wood, which gives it an additional note. It has a lush and complex effect as, in addition to the typical Chardonnay aromas, there is also a hint of nut. Very exciting on the palate, creamy and round, almost opulent and very powerful. You can feel the maturity of the vintage and the warmth provides a lot of volume. The wine is already much more accessible than, for example, the Terre du Mesnil from 2012. Enormously long and powerful finish and a really great champagne that should definitely be drunk from a large glass. Don't enjoy it too cold and let it breathe a little so that it can really develop.
