PIERRE GIMONNET CUVEE ROSE DE BLANCS NV

Style: Rocks & Minerals

Didier Gimonnet is known for intensely bracing, invigorating Champagnes built on piercing acidity and salivating minerality, qualities that are enhanced through fermentation and aging exclusively in steel¿ when the wines are well-balanced, they are terrific. Readers will find a number of wines in this set of new releases that are gorgeous. One thing to note is that the reserve wines in the entry-level 1er Cru Cuis bottling are the NV blend of that year, which means those reserve wines are themselves blends of multiple vintages. Interestingly, the reserve wines are stored in magnum, which is a labor-intensive process, to say the least. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

Light orange pink. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet displays scents of pink grapefruit, orange zest and strawberry, with a sexy floral note building in the glass. Mineral-driven red berry and blood orange flavors show excellent clarity and are underscored by a spicy nuance. Finishes tight, dry and long, with repeating minerality. JOSH RAYNOLDS
