Pierre Gimonnet & Fils - Cuvée Oenophile Non Dose Extra Brut Champagne Premier Cru 2017 (750ml) Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria)For the extremely warm year this is remarkably fresh with very pure lemon blossom and white flower character. A thread of delicate chalky minerality runs through the focused palate, which the fine mousse accents beautifully. A cuvee of wines that are 45% from Cramant, 30% Chouilly, 22% Cuis and 3% Oger. Disgorged in February 2023. Drink or hold.

The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture

our Watervale Riesling is picked from select parcels of vines that achieve ripeness with naturally high acid levels

Juicy at the end with hints of tobacco and cedar

Rich but bright

It begins with its ‘alto grado’ base wine

explodes with freshness on the palate

and sweetness
