Gimonnet Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Oenophile Non Dose 2020

Gimonnet Pierre & Fils’ Oenophile Non Dosé is a pure and precise Blanc de Blancs that showcases the elegance of 1er Cru Champagne without any added dosage. Made entirely from Chardonnay and sourced from old vines in the Côte des Blancs, it reflects both the freshness of the vintage and the long-standing finesse of this historic house.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, this Champagne opens with lifted citrus and orchard fruit, followed by more layered aromas of dried apricot, brioche, and chalky minerality. On the palate it is creamy yet tightly structured, balancing crisp freshness with a subtle savory edge and a graceful, finely etched finish. The non-dosé style gives it extra clarity and tension, allowing the Chardonnay to shine with precision and energy. With its concentration and old-vine depth, it should age well over the next several years, gaining additional complexity and roundness.

Production
Crafted in the Côte des Blancs from Chardonnay vines aged up to 75 years, this 1er Cru cuvée benefits from classic chalk-rich Champagne terroir that naturally lends the wine its mineral backbone and lifted acidity. Harvested by hand and made using the traditional method, it is bottled without dosage to preserve purity, terroir expression, and a more incisive style.

Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, sashimi, shellfish, sushi, ceviche, or delicate poultry dishes, as well as hard cheeses like Comté or aged Parmesan. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary, though a short rest in the glass will help the wine open and reveal its layered complexity.
