Collection 2009

The Collection 2009 is a pure Chardonnay from premier and grand cru sites on the Côte des Blancs. The vines are around 40 years old. Pierre Gimonnet ferments and ages this cuvée exclusively in magnums, which gives its development more time. The dosage is 5 g/l and lets the origin take the lead.

In the glass, citrus fruit appears with fine mineral and floral notes. On the palate the wine feels rich and mellow, yet airy at the same time. The 2009 vintage favours mineral elegance here. Serve it at 9 to 10 °C in a wide white wine glass. It goes with pan-fried scallops, turbot or an aged Comté. In magnum it is especially suited to a larger table.
