Special Club Chouilly 2015 | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Chouilly Grand Cru 2015 by Gimonnet is a typical Blanc de Blancs champagne, a delicate cuvée, full of finesse, with an elegant and creamy palate.

This champagne is made from Chardonnay grapes grown exclusively in the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly, more specifically from several plots located in the Montaigu area.

The harvest took place from September 10 to 21, 2015, under ideal weather conditions. The year 2015 was perfectly in line with the continental trend of the decade, with a mild, wet winter and a hot, dry summer. Thanks to a cool end to the summer, the grapes ripened to produce juicy, ripe and concentrated grapes, resulting in a spectacular vintage.

Like all of the House's champagnes, this Chouilly Grand Cru 2015 cuvée is vinified in stainless steel vats to bring out the tension and purity of the terroir. It was bottled in April 2016 before spending four years in the House's cellars to refine its aromas.

This Extra Brut champagne, with a dosage of 4.5g/L, offers a very delicate nose with lovely floral notes, followed by pastry and gourmet aromas.

On the palate, the Chouilly Grand Cru 2015 opens with a fresh but not sharp attack. The texture of the wine is silky, creamy, and delicate, with beautiful notes of citrus and white fruits.

This superb cuvée, produced in a limited edition of 3,923 bottles, is perfect as an aperitif.
