Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Mesnil Sur Oger Brut Millesime

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: This is a refined wine, with mineral and chalky notes. There is a beautiful pale gold color, light mouth, which is elegant and refreshing. 

About the Winery: Gonet is a very old name in Champagne. The family moved to Champagne from the Beaujolais in the 15th century and worked in the vineyards before establishing a Champagne house in the early 1800s. Each subsequent generation helped lay a foundation for a successful domaine with the most recent patriarch, Michel Gonet, enlarging the cellars in Avize and refocusing their winemaking in the 1970s. The total holdings are around 40 hectares, consisting mostly of Chardonnay on the Côte des Blancs. The vines are located in the villages of Le Mesnil sur Oger, a little further south, in Vindey on the Sézannais hillsides, and also near Troyes, on the slopes of Montgueux.

Serving Suggestions: Its versatility allows it to go well with your aperitifs and can be shared in a meal, with a starter, a main dish or a desert. 

Varietal: Chardonnay.
