Pierre Gimonnet & Fils - Millésimes de Collection Spécial Club 2002

Note: RVF 16.5/20
“Like last year’s vintage, the 2002 Spécial Club Collection expresses the champagne’s earthy, briny character—more so than its airy qualities. Persistent and food-friendly.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2013 - RVF). This vintage is among the finest the estate has ever produced!

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

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.

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 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.
