Champagne Gallimard, Père et Fils NV (£35 per bottle)
Didier Gallimard owns 10 hectares of prime vineyards on the steep slopes around Les Riceys in the southern Aube. Their vines’ average age is over 30 years and the dramatically sloping vineyards, which are of chalk and Kimmeridgian limestone, are planted mainly to Pinot Noir and just a little Chardonnay.
Their wines are full and rich and offer enticing aromas and flavours of summer fruits. The Gallimard Champagne is 100% pinot noir which is so intriguing and hard to find.
The wine has an intriguing, delicate and faintly pink tint in certain light!
Everyone who has tried this champagne has adored and bought more, and more and more..
