Cuis 1er Cru Brut

The Cuis 1er Cru Brut is the calling card of Pierre Gimonnet & Fils. Like all the champagnes of the house, it is made entirely from Chardonnay. The style is light, fruity and low in dosage. One particularity lies in the blend: the reserve wines are kept in bottle rather than in barrel. This preserves the purity and finesse of the Côte des Blancs Chardonnays and keeps the taste stable from year to year.

In the glass you find a clear, fresh champagne with plenty of fruit and a slender line. It is very approachable even when young, but also copes with a few years in the cellar. Drink it at 8 to 10 °C from a tulip glass. It makes a good aperitif and goes well with oysters, gougères or a plate of pan-fried white fish.
