Pierre Gimonnet Oenophile Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2012

Lemon curd, white peach and a dusting of chalk open this taut, focused Blanc de Blancs from Gimonnet. The zero-dosage format strips away any cushioning and lets the wine's raw tension do the talking, bracing acidity, stony backbone, and a finish that holds its line impressively. A breath of air coaxes out subtle ginger and spice. Drinking well now through 2027.
