Eguren Codice Tinto 2018

"I freaking love the Gimonnet wines. In fairness I am a sucker for great Blanc de Blancs, and the 2008 Special Club is all that and a bag of chips. While I am ALWAYS a Gimmonet Special Club drinker and buyer you should note that in rare superlative vintages Didier declares a “Special Club de Collection”. This 2008 is designated as a collection wine. I can only agree."
Wine review by Wil Bailey

"Fruit of a strict selection, this is the most vigilant of our soils and the summit of our vintages.”  

The assembly is composed exclusively of chardonnay, originating mostly of "Cramant Grand Cru" and of old vines (50% of our vines are more than 40 years old, the two "doyennes" are 80 years old...).  

20 to 30% of the assembly originate from our vineyard of "Cuis 1er Cru".  This cuvée confers complexity and longevity.

The Special Club cuvée, embodies the archetype style of Pierre Gimonnet & Fils: a Champagne of superb structure, offering a very beautiful body, all in finesse and in elegance.
Tasting note from Olivier and Didier Gimonnet

Food Pairings

Very versatile. The better cuts of lamb. Most any meat braised or stewed. Game birds and poultry, especially duck.
