"The NV Champagne Selection Belles Années Brut is 73% from 2021 and the rest reserve wines. It sports a bright medium yellow color and offers notes of bright green apples, delicate toasty lift, lime candies, and chalky earth. It's linear and driving on the palate, with a focused and lively mousse, more citrus tension, and fresh squeezed lemon through the palate. It's a bit more austere at this early stage and will benefit from another 6 months in bottle. Drink it over the coming 6-8 years."

"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Sélection Belles Années is exquisite this year. Rich, creamy and inviting, this will be very easy to enjoy with minimal cellaring. Ripe green pear, chamomile, peach and marzipan are some of the many notes that grace this wonderfully inviting Champagne from Gimonnet. Made up of 100% Chardonnay from chalky parcels in Chouilly, Cramant, Cuis and Vertus, this is an especially fine edition of the Belles Années. Dosage is 5.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 1, 2022."
