Pierre Gimonnet

The Gimonnet family has been cultivating vines in Cuis since 1750 and today owns around 28 hectares in the Côte des Blancs, including extraordinary parcels such as the century-old vineyards of Cramant, planted between 1911 and 1913. About half of the estate’s vineyards have an average age of 40 years, a heritage that ensures consistent quality and expressive depth in every cuvée.

Since 1996, Domaine Pierre Gimonnet has been run by Didier and Olivier Gimonnet, Pierre’s grandsons, who have carried forward their father’s legacy by focusing on the harmony between Grand Cru and Premier Cru, rather than relying exclusively on single parcels. The result is a crystalline style, capable of expressing both balance and complexity through the interplay of different terroirs.

A defining element of the Domaine remains the grapes from Cuis, with their vibrant natural acidity, which imparts freshness and longevity. These are complemented by the broader and creamier Chardonnays from Cramant and Chouilly, completing the structure of the cuvées. Among the flagship labels stands the Special Club Cuvée, born from the collective project launched in 1971, created to celebrate the purity of terroir in Champagne production.
