NV Gimonnet Gonet ‘l’Eclant’ Brut Rose
Tasting Notes ~
From two families of wine growers, Anne and Philippe Gimonnet have chosen the same path as their ancestors. In 1986 the first bottles of Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet were vinified. Since then, Anne and Philippe have had only one goal: to create champagnes of excellence. This Grand Cru Champagne is comprised of a a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir (both harvested from their 13 acre Estate). The wine spends two years on the lees before disgorgement with 7grams at dosage. This is Growers Champagne at it’s best.

2012 Aubry ‘Ivorie & Ébène’ Brut
$66.00Add to cartVinous 95 ~ The 2012 Brut Ivoire et Ebène is another fabulous wine in this range. Powerful, ample and resonant in the glass, the 2012 is superb from the moment it is first poured. Baked apple, pear, smoke and spice fill out the wine's voluptuous frame, with a hint of French oak that add complexity without being overpowering. The combination of bright flavors and rich textures is compelling. Disgorged: June 2016. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. -

2007 Billecart-Salmon ‘Cuvée Elisabeth’ Champagne Brut Rosé
$240.00Add to cartRobert Parker's Wine Advocate 97 ~ Created in 1988 as a tribute to one of the house’s founders, Elisabeth Salmon, Billecart-Salmon's iconic 2007 Millésime Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth displays a beautifully radiant, shimmering orange-salmon color. The bouquet of this Pinot Noir/Chardonnay blend is as intense as it is delicate and vinous, displaying red and yellow-fleshed fruit intertwined with floral, chalky and citrus notes as well as a noble sur lie character. Round, lush and delicate on the palate, this is a highly elegant, charming, beautifully balanced rosé with great finesse and amazingly fine grip on the long yet pure, tensioned, well-structured and stimulatingly salty finish. This rosé Champagne is close to perfection! A small percentage of the Pinot Noir—from old vines in the south-facing Valofroy parcel in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ—was vinified as red wine and added to give this unique color and vinosity. The other Pinots are sourced in the grand crus Verzenay and Aÿ, and the Chardonnay comes from grand crus in the Côte des Blancs, namely Chouilly, Avize and Mesnil-sur-Oger.
