A harmonious blend of 10% chardonnay imparting elegance and finesse, 45% pinot noir for roundness and structure and 45% meunier for fruitiness and soft, supple character. Evoking pure fruit and utterly thirst-quenching, this Rosé Champagne can be savoured as an aperitif at the first signs of sunshine, and is equally at home all year round with charcuterie, smoked salmon or the more classic match of red berry fruit desserts.

Gimonnet Gonet’s L’Origine is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne composed of fruit from five Grand Cru villages—Oiry, Chouilly, Oger, Cramant, Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. As Gimonnet Gonet eschews the use of oak, the wine is fermented in stainless steel before it’s blended with reserve wines (30-35%), then aged in bottle for 22-36 months. Its golden colour, and mild mousse, leads to an expressive nose of bright fruit and a subtle nuttiness. The palate is grippy and fresh, yet creamy and elegant, with stone fruit, lemon zest, and a sense of minerality. 6g/l dosage.
