Lemon blossom, crisp pear and green apple drive the nose of the 2018 Pierre Gimonnet Oenophile Extra-Brut, backed by a cool, chalky spine that keeps this warm‑year Champagne remarkably vibrant. The palate is sleek yet cushioned by a fine, delicate mousse, showing subtle notes of citrus peel, white flowers and a hint of hazelnut, finishing long, dry and mineral with no sense of hardness despite the zero dosage. This vintage stands out for its combination of ripeness and poise, delivering depth and creaminess while remaining incisive and saline.
