Pierre Gimonnet
Delivering consistently as a premier “Special Club” member, And delivering Champagne with specific and targeted love of all things Chardonnay this is a Blanc de Blanc House.

It's in the blending of terroir that Gimonnet balances the elegance, charisma and longevity of its vast range of Blanc De Blanc. Dedicated vintages and specific Site-specific Champagnes where only the best Fruit is delivering on their love of Chardonnay.
