Takeout Companion #1. 🥡

Not the longest or most complex champagne but pointing out shortcomings is fairly challenging

Bright! Green apple galore. Doughy. Some lime zest and green gooseberry. Developing minerality. Mousse could be finer, and needs more time in the cellar, but overall very good. Base ‘11 through ‘16, disgorged ‘18

Disgorgement 25 June 2018 dosage: 6 g/l. 100% Chardonnay. SO GOOD. Great biscuity, yeasty character with ripe fruit wrapped in acid. Yum.

Fine mouse fresh apple Nice brioche

From a half bottle. Popped and poured; no formal notes. Persistent mousse. Lovely notes of white peach, pear, brioche and chalky minerals. Super well balanced. Gimonnet rarely disappoints. A multi-vintage blend from 2010-2019. Disgorged May 31, 2021. Dosage 6 g/L.
