Pierre Gimonnet & Fils - Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Oger' NV (750ml) Valpolicella RipassoGrower Champagne. In keeping with Gimonnet's dry style, this is almost bone dry and as sharp as a knife. Behind the steely texture, it is fruity as well, with tight apple and strong citrus flavors. It's a tense and nervy style with depth of flavor and concentration. This is 100% Chardonnay harvested in 2011 from Oger grand cru vineyards in the Cte des Blancs.
