Brut Extra

The Brut Extra from Pierre Gimonnet & Fils is a pure Chardonnay from premier cru sites on the Côte des Blancs. The house works with the terroir of Cuis and builds this cuvée from five harvests. With a dosage of 4 g/l it is kept lean, so the minerality of the chalk soil and the clear freshness of the grape take centre stage.

In the glass you find a precise, tightly wound blanc de blancs with fine drive and an elegant line. It works as an aperitif, but it also holds up through a whole menu. It is particularly good with oysters, seafood, pan-fried fish and mild fresh goat's cheese. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume, where aroma and structure show well.
