Gimonnet's Paradoxe features Pinot Noir two-to-one over Chardonnay. The result is an abundance of all things cherry, and most notably the pit. But cherry is only first layer of this jawbreaker of a Champagne. An enormously complex briny, flowery, yeasty, nutty, citrusy, umami, minty, toasty, creamy, peachy, and funky bubbly.

Birthday bubbles to commemorate the twins' fourth birthday-
Me: "We have historically significant champagne tonight! This bottle was disgorged in October 2011!" Father: "Disgorged in October 2011, just like pregnant you!"

The artifact of producer: This acts so much like one of his Blanc de Blancs.

Rich, leesy nose, continues onto the palate. Brioche and Tupelo honey

2006. Big and rich. Lots of expression on the nose but a bit shut down on the palate.
