Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Cuvee Special Club Brut Millesime, Champagne, France 2016 Sohm & Kracher Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey Saint DenisA combination of rich ripeness with a sophisticated texture and a complex depth of flavor. Its ripe notes of green pear, guava, lime and quince are held in vivid tension by a racy spine of acidity, allowing the aromas to expand on the finish with a graceful, elegant poise, while the underlying minerality infuses everything in its chalky presence.
