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 terroir » 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.
