Sourced entirely from the racy-fresh 2021 vintage, Gimonnet’s NV Brut Rosé de Blancs 1er Cru is showing well. “We want Chardonnay to dominate over Pinot Noir,” admits Didier Gimonnet. And they have managed this task well, as the wine is delicately chalky, with citrus fruit and floral aromas mingling with red berries. Medium-bodied and laden with ripe acids, it concludes with a perfumed finish. This rosé can be described as simple, but it will offer many opportunities around the table, especially with meat dishes. It was disgorged in September 2024 with six grams per liter dosage.
