Pierre Gimonnet Gastronome Brut 2018

Tightly coiled and angular, with focused lemon curd, white blossom and a faint herbal edge that adds intrigue. Fine bubbles carry the wine's tension well, but the structure is firmly set right now, there's real depth here for a Blanc de Blancs, with layers that build toward a long, briny, chalky close. This needs another 2–3 years to open up and find its stride.
