Details of wine
Gimonnet & Fils is a Maison in which we work every day to create splendid cuvées with the typical style of these lands.
The wines offered by this Maison are characterized by freshness and intense minerality, the result of the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, of the obsessively rigorous work but also of respect for the know-how transmitted by dad Pierre.
The Oenophile 2012 cuvée by Pierre Gimonnet is a champagne for aesthetes, a cuvée that with its elaboration enhances the size and complexity of the Chardonnay of the Côte des Blancs.
The cuvée is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve maximum purity and produced in just 15,750 bottles.
A seductive and elegant Champagne.

The history of the Gimonnet family has been linked to the Champagne region since 1750, but it is from the middle of the twentieth century that Pierre Gimonnet, together with his sons, began to create cuvées of great importance, based on the Chardonnay vine. We find ourselves, not surprisingly, in the Côte des Blancs, where from the 28 hectares of property, the company Pierre Gimonnet produces grapes with which it produces Champagne with a distinctive and absolutely recognizable style. Being able to count on vineyards that reach even 75 years of age, conducted in full and total respect for the environment, the Maison Pierre Gimonnet adds wisdom and perfection. The vinification is based on traditional methods, with grapes that are harvested manually and left to ferment in small vats. The malolactic fermentation follows, after which a single light filtration is carried out before the tirage, while the disgorgement takes place only three months before the product is shipped. Finally, topping up is light and delicate, so as not to mask the natural, elegant and fresh style of Chardonnay.
