Spécial Club Cramant Grand Cru 2015

The Spécial Club Cramant Grand Cru 2015 comes exclusively from Cramant, one of the famous grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. Pierre Gimonnet brought together 14 Chardonnay parcels for it and filled only 3,904 bottles. The grapes were picked by hand, the cuvée spent more than four years on the lees and was disgorged three months before sale. The dosage of 4 g/l makes it an extra brut.

Cramant stands for finesse and tension on chalk soils, and that is exactly what you can expect from this blanc de blancs: precise, lean and with a mineral pull. The merchant recommends opening the bottle soon. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass with a slender tulip shape. Raw scallops, sashimi or a simply pan-fried turbot go well with it.
