Didier Gimonnet is the second generation of growers to direct this superb estate, with 70 acres of holdings in grand and premier cru villages, predominantly in the Côte de Blancs. The winery is in the premier cru village of Cuis where Didier’s family has been growing grapes since 1750. Pierre Gimonnet, Didier’s grandfather, started bottling estate champagnes in 1935. In 1971 a group of twelve growers started an organization called Club de Viticultures Champenois, to promote the concept of terroir and estate bottled, or grower Champagne in France and abroad. In 1999 the group changed their name to Club Trésors de Champagne, but the mission and philosophy has not changed. The standards that the group adopted are so demanding that there are currently only about two dozen members out of the approximately 5000 growers in the appellation. In order for a wine to be sold as Spécial Club, it must pass two separate panel tastings, so this is by definition a special offering. A Blanc de blancs from the Cramant Grand Cru vineyard, this 100% Chardonnay is all purity and elegance, with aromas and flavors of citrus, white flowers, and brioche, crisp acidity, and a delicate mousse.
