Robert Parker
" The Cuvée Théophile Grand Cru Extra-Brut 2006 is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Vinified in old barrels, this wine offers an intense, vinous bouquet of ripe fruit and chalk. Full-bodied and intense on the palate, this Champagne is very elegant and expressive with a firm structure and a long, complex finish." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About wine:
Creamy, brioche-like, mineral, caressing, and at the same time tense, this champagne is complete in its definition.
About the estate:
The remarkably cultivated vineyards are located on the excellent slopes of Bisseuil, Ambonnay, and Mesnil, allowing for balanced blends in all cuvées.

About the estate:
Xavier Gonet set up his own business in Bisseuil, a premier cru in the Marne Valley, with his wife Julie, née Médeville, from Château Gilette in Sauternes. They have an original range of vines: the family contribution of great Chardonnays from Mesnil-sur-Oger (Louvière, Champ d'Alouette), good Pinot Meunier (Mareuil) and Pinot Noir (Ambonnay and Bisseuil) crus. To ensure the wine has greater liveliness as it ages, malolactic fermentation is blocked. An increasingly large proportion of clear wines are also fermented in barrels, which enhances the finesse of the bubbles. We appreciate the perfect consistency of a personal range, a fitting reward for synchronized efforts in viticulture and winemaking.
