Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this vintage cuvée offers precision, finesse, and a depth of flavour shaped by over a decade of lees ageing. Pale with a delicate, persistent mousse. Aromas of citrus peel, white peach, toasted brioche, and hazelnut rise from the glass. On the palate, the 2008 vintage shows great tension and balance, with Chardonnay’s hallmark chalky minerality underpinning flavours of baked apple, lemon curd, and subtle almond. The finish is long, fine, and lingering, leaving a graceful impression of freshness and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh oysters with lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLobster thermidor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast chicken with truffle cream sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This Champagne is pure elegance – it’s like silk on the palate, with the kind of finesse that makes a special occasion even more memorable.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChampagne Jean Gimonnet\u003c\/strong\u003e is renowned for its dedication to Chardonnay from the chalk-rich slopes of Cuis.
