the Vitovska has specific characteristics that are emphasized with the red and draining soils of the Carso

From the very start it’s so aromatic

Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Blanc de Blancs Gastronome, Champagne, France 2018 Humberto silky texture on the fullishThe 2018 Champagne Cuve Gastronome Brut has a bit sunnier feel, with primary fruit aromas of Williams pear, lime blossoms, candy, and green apple. The palate is full and rounded, with a coarser mineral texture throughout compared to the other cuve. It has wonderful salinity and takes on a more savory expression that I find quite attractive. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
