Pierre Gimonnet & Fils
Cuvée Paradoxe 1er Cru Brut Champagne
FranceBlend of Chardonnay & Pinot Noir from a stellar vintage. Richness of the Pinot really shines, with the acid of the Chardonnay slicing right through. Pinot comes from the 1er Cru village of Cuis known mostly for its Chardonnay, thus "Paradoxe"

Forward, fresh, crisp. I was expecting a little more flesh and density. Must be all that CH in the blend. Somewhat linear. Juicy and upfront palate followed by a mineral and textural finish. Bosc pears, apple skin, chalk, a little toast, starchy. 52% PN 48% CH 10/2014 disgorgement.
