Pierre Gimonnet & Fils 2000 Special Club Brut Champagne. The 2000 Special Club reveals the essence of apples, pears, quince and flowers in a fresh, linear style that possesses more body than the Oenophile Maxi Brut owing to the higher percentage of Cramant fruit. This bottle was disgorged in July, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. 91 Points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate. December 2008. Light yellow. Energetic aromas of green apple, wet stone, lime zest and smoked meat. Almost painfully concentrated, offering crackling citrus and mineral flavors and a strong note of honeysuckle. The dry, focused finish boasts excellent purity and length. 92 Points Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar. (Nov/Dec 2008) |
