Champagne Pierre Gimonnet et Fils is in the Premier Cru village of Cuis, with vineyards primarily in the Cote de Blanc region. The Gimonnet family has been growing grapes in the region since the 18th century, but did not start bottling their own Champagne until 1935. Today Didier Gimonnet runs the estate, which includes 34 acres of Premier Cru in Cuis, and 28 acres of Grand Cru Chardonnay in Cramant and Chouilly. There are another 8 acres in nearby villages. More than 70% of the estates vines are more than 30 years old, and some are 100 years old, making Gimonnet et Fils Champagnes exceptional, for one reason, because of their high percentage of old vine cuvee. The estate makes a full range of Champagnes.
