The vintage Cuis 1er cru is the first Special Club 100% Cuis 1er cru. Of course, Cuis is the cradle of the Gimonnet family, and 50% of their vines are located is this village.
The non-vintage has been elaborated from Cuis 1er cru for almost 100 years, so it is really incredible that this premium cuvée is the first to be elaborated 100% from Cuis.
Fantastic ripeness. Fine and elegant, a great silky and deep blanc de blancs.
