Gimonnet Chardonnay is always a joy and always just right. The Gastronome is much like the rest of their stable: deft and delicious. The nose is very fresh with a blast of citrus aromas and some light floral notes. There’s a little mint and a bit of honey. Very pretty.

Pure Chardonnay from six villages in the Côte des Blancs, primarily from Cuis. Very open and inviting, this is an old friend of a champagne. One where you walk into the house and know exactly where everything is at. But that doesn’t dampen the vitality and liveliness of the wine. Zippy acidity and well structured.

Fuller bodied than expected but still as a lithe as a dancer. Chalk and moist limestone with dried herbs on the tongue. The finish is long and resplendent with a little white pepper. Outstanding stuff.
