2013 Pierre Gimmonet & Fils Paradoxe Brut 1er Cru from Aÿ on the Montagne de Reims and from the Côte des Blancs; 90% Pinot Noir 10% Chardonnay: a surprisingly bright lemony colour; a bouquet of lemon and yeast; in the mouth lemon, lemon cake, meringue, and with more air also some orange and Appletizer. A bit later green apples and pears are also present.  It has a a round and smooth finish of 40 seconds.

Very bright and summery.  drink - 28.  Very good.  June 2021.  4/5. 

P.S. This might be the last Paradoxe of this kind, as the Pinot vines were reportedly removed from the vineyard and replaced with Chardonnay.
