The most floral and rounded of this year's multi-vintage Blanc de Blancs offerings from Gimonnet, the NV Champagne Selection Belles Années Brut is composed of 60% from the 2019 vintage, with reserve wines from 2010 to 2018, and as with the previous wines, it was raised without the use of oak. It pours a pale straw hue and lifts from the glass with notes of honeysuckle, ripe pear, fresh melon, bread dough, and wet stone. It carries to the palate seamlessly, with balanced mid-palate ripeness that makes for a more complete wine. It has balanced tension through the finish and a lovely core of concentration, leaving behind a mouthwatering and mineral-tinged finish.
