"The 2019 Champagne Cuvee Paradoxe Brut is, as the name suggests, a departure from the house range, coming in as 90% Pinot Noir from A and the rest Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. On opening, it displays a deeper straw hue, although it's not over extracted. Aromas open to blackcurrant, brioche, rosemary, and crushed stone, and on the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied and ripe with a grapefruit citrus tone, an expanding mousse, and a long finish that closes with a savory flourish. This lovely wine retains the elegance of the Gimmonet range. Drink 2024-2034."

"Well-honed acidity provides linear drive and fine definition, cutting a swathe through the creamy mousse and layered flavors of crŠme de cassis, whole-grain toast and creamed apple, backed by hints of ground ginger, cardamom and white pepper. Fresh and minerally on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged December 2022. Drink now through 2034. ‡A.N."
