Gimonnet Gonet Champagne Grand Cru Terre de Oiry 2016

Description

What it tastes like:
Gimonnet Gonet Champagne Grand Cru Terre de Oiry 2016 is a precise, mineral-driven Blanc de Blancs showing lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with brioche, toasted almond, and a chalky salinity. With time in bottle, it has developed a creamy mousse and subtle autolytic complexity, finishing long and focused with a saline, stony edge.

Why you should buy it:
This is a serious grower Champagne from a single Grand Cru vineyard in the Cte des Blancs, showcasing the finesse and purity of Chardonnay on chalk. Low-dosage and aged extensively on lees, it delivers both elegance and tension. Its an outstanding value for Champagne lovers who appreciate terroir expression and a more gastronomic, age-worthy style.

What to enjoy it with:
A perfect match for oysters, scallops, and crudo, but equally compelling with poultry in cream sauce or aged Comt. Its a great aperitif for purists but has enough depth to carry through a meal. Serve well-chilled and let it open in the glass for full aromatic development.

Wine Story:
Terre de Oiry comes from the Grand Cru village of Oiry, renowned for its pure chalk soils and linear Chardonnay character. Gimonnet Gonet, a small, family-run estate with deep roots in Champagne, farms sustainably and vinifies with minimal intervention. This 2016 bottling reflects a great vintage and meticulous winemaking, delivering a Champagne thats both refined and expressive of place.
