The Gimonnet family has been growing vines in Champagne since 1750. Pierre Gimonnet, for whom the estate is named, began making wine in the village of Cuis in 1935; today Pierre’s grandsons Didier and Olivier are in charge of the estate. Of Gimonnet’s 28 hectares of vines, 11 are in the grand cru villages of Cramant and Chouilly, and another hectare of grand cru land in Oger was purchased in November of 2004. The remaining 16 hectares are all in the premier cru village of Cuis, except for two hectares in Vertus purchased in 2008, plus half a hectare divided between Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Didier Gimonnet believes that the preservation of old vines is crucial to maintaining the high quality of his wines, and the average age of his vineyards is 35 years. In the grand cru parcels, 70 percent of the vines are over 40 years old, and there are two parcels, totaling an entire hectare between them, of remarkably old vines in Cramant: one in Fond du Bâteau, planted in 1911, and the other in Buissons, planted in 1913.
