Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Chouilly Grand Cru Special Club, Champagne, France 2016 Antonio Vallana e Figlio The wine makes a quickVery fresh with bundles of lemon and lime and beautiful chalky character. The low dosage makes it extra brut but that doesnt come across as it has so much fruit and ripeness mixed with lees character that builds up to some light custard layering. This feels young and vibrant with an exciting future. This is a good example showing how good one grape variety can be from one vineyard.
