Clear as a bell

very enjoyable fruit extraction that manages to be intense but not overdone

Powerful and structured with fine tannins and that joyful red-fruit profile that lovers of Gamay swoon for

For a village wine

Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Paradoxe Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France 2019 Futsushu Clear as a bellThe Champagne Cuve Paradoxe Brut moves into more yellow orchard fruit and tangerine aromas, with a hint of savory quinine. The palate is tension driven, though not overbearing or austere. Pithy, with a hint of smoke and salty earth, and maybe some white pepper spice, it would make a great accompanying wine for the table to drink over the next 8 10 years. 92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
