Champagne P.Gimonnet - Gastronome 1er Cru

Champagne Maison P.Gimonnet Gastronome 1er Cru. Cuvee Gastronome is so named because it is specifically designed to pair well with food. To achieve this ideal, the wine is bottled at a lower pressure than normal for Champagne, resulting in softer, less persistent bubbles.

Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves.The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection.

Aroma: very pure nose showing white fruit, pastry and vanilla pod notes.

Tasting notes: the attack is lush and extremely refined and expressive with above-average aromatic persistency.

Serving suggestions: pair well with all foods.
