Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Paradoxe Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France 2019 Futsushu Powerful and structured with fineThe Champagne Cuve Paradoxe Brut moves into more yellow orchard fruit and tangerine aromas, with a hint of savory quinine. The palate is tension driven, though not overbearing or austere. Pithy, with a hint of smoke and salty earth, and maybe some white pepper spice, it would make a great accompanying wine for the table to drink over the next 8 10 years. 92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
