This non dosé (without dosage) cuvee is made for purists who like the minerality of the Terroirs of Côtes des Blancs. The Cuvée Œnophile is a blend of great Chardonnays, with long aging on the lees, without any dosage.The Gimonnet brothers were pioneers for the « Brut Nature », their first cuvée « non dosé » was created in 1985. Each year, they taste all the vintage cuvees which are maturing on lees in their cellars. When one of them is naturally well balanced, they decide to sell it with no dosage. They want to create a wine naturally balance between minerality, complexity and delicacy with a chalky mineral finish.
