“8% Pinot Noir from Bouzy and Cumières blends with the estate’s Chardonnays. Its redcurrant color gives way to a refined nose with subtle notes of strawberries and crushed raspberries, while the brightness of the clementine zest is unmistakable. On the palate, it’s a bouquet of roses and strawberry candy—it’s captivating. Furthermore, the finish tenderly blends zest and fine salt with nourishing tannins.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Wine Guide). An atypical cuvée!

Wine rated (2020 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

8% Pinot Noir from Bouzy and Cumières blends with the estate’s Chardonnays. Its redcurrant hue gives way to a refined nose with subtle notes of strawberries and crushed raspberries, while the vibrant citrus zest is unmistakable. The palate is a bouquet of roses and strawberry candy—it’s captivating. Furthermore, the finish tenderly blends zest and fine salt with nourishing tannins.

About the estate:

Didier and Olivier Gimonnet carry on the family estate, cultivating 30 hectares across 40 plots in five villages of the Côte des Blancs—Cuis, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly, and Vertus—from which they strive to produce the purest expression of the terroir, with low dosage. As lovers of the vineyard, their viticultural approach is focused on respecting the soil and biodiversity. Pioneers in plot-by-plot vinification in stainless steel tanks, in the art of blending, and in truly dosage-free champagnes, the Gimonnet style is recognizable for its fine, precise, and elegant complexity.

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. Arriving at the estate in the 1980s, his grandsons Didier and Olivier took over in 1996. They manage a large estate (29 hectares) 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 (2021 guide) 92/100

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Made from a 2018 vintage blend that is 95% Chardonnay, this is a very elegant rosé, refined and delicate on the palate. It offers lovely notes of red berries and a nice liveliness on the finish. A superb classic.

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, maintaining their refined, restrained 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.
