with notes of wild strawberries and herbs

The mouth feel is saline and viscous followed by driving acidity and firm phenolic power

meringue and sunchoke

Medium-to full-bodied with saline mineral notes

This fills the palate with a luxurious bead of fine bubbles

Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Blanc de Blancs Gastronome, Champagne, France 2018 Chateau La Cabanne with notes of wild strawberriesThe 2018 Champagne Cuve Gastronome Brut has a bit sunnier feel, with primary fruit aromas of Williams pear, lime blossoms, candy, and green apple. The palate is full and rounded, with a coarser mineral texture throughout compared to the other cuve. It has wonderful salinity and takes on a more savory expression that I find quite attractive. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
