This cuvée is the result of a very careful job at all stages of elaboration. The blending, made exclusively with Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, is a delicate blend from old vineyards over 40 years old, the oldest were planted in 1911 and 1913.
The Special Club is mainly composed of « hearts of each terroirs » of Cramant Grand Cru, completed by Chouilly « Montaigu » and a touch of Cuis 1er cru to bring freshness, signature of Pierre Gimonnet& Fils style.
This cuvée, « nec plus ultra » of our terroirs, is distinguished by a very silky texture, finesse and elegance worthy of the greatest.

Antonio Galloni Vintage 2014 – 95P: This brings together so many of the elements that makes these Champagnes so distinctive. There is plenty of freshness, power and volume. Old vines in Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis confer palatable richness and feeling of gravitas that is impossible to miss. At the same time, there is a touch of translucence that is so alluring.
