Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2017 guide) 17,5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2025 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the wine:
Chalky flavors with a lovely texture on the palate, full of elegance and sophisticated freshness.
About the estate:
Didier and Olivier Gimonnet carry on the family estate, cultivating 30 hectares and 40 plots across five villages in the Côte des Blancs—Cuis, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly, and Vertus—from which they strive to produce the purest expressions of these wines, with low dosages. As true lovers of the vineyard, their viticultural approach is focused on respecting the soil and promoting biodiversity. Pioneers in plot-by-plot winemaking in stainless-steel tanks, in the art of blending, and in producing truly dosage-free champagnes, the Gimonnet style is recognizable for its refined, precise, and elegant complexity.

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
The Gimonnet de Cuis family traces its roots back to the 18th century. The champagne house was founded in the 1920s by Pierre. His son Michel was an early adopter of single-vineyard winemaking. His grandsons, Didier and Olivier, joined the estate in the 1980s and took over in 1996. They manage a large estate (29 ha) in the Côte des Blancs, comprising Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. Their lineup features Blanc de Blancs, with the exception of rosé.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Rated Estate (2025 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Few Champagne winemakers can claim, as Didier and Olivier Gimonnet do, to manage a 28-hectare estate in the Côte des Blancs, including 12 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards in Cuis, Vertus, Cramant, Chouilly, and Oger. The two brothers continue the tradition of blending terroirs while maintaining their refined, understated style—free of any harshness (thanks to malolactic fermentation) and never overly exuberant—appealing to both novices and connoisseurs of great Blanc de Blancs. The Gimonnets brilliantly tame the Chardonnays of Cuis, which are often cold and austere.

Gilbert & Gaillard
Wine rated (2016 guide) 95/100
About the wine:
Light yellow color with green highlights. A delicate nose revealing, in turn, chalky, slightly toasty, and fresh aromatic herb notes... On the palate, fullness, opulence, finesse, lightness, and freshness—a successful blend of seemingly contradictory sensations. Great
