"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 the domain :
Xavier Gonet has set up on his own in Bisseuil, a premier cru in the Marne valley, with his wife Julie, née Médeville, of Château Gilette in Sauternes. They have an original range of vines at their disposal: the family's contribution of great Chardonnays from Mesnil-sur-Oger (Louvière, Champ d'Alouette), good Pinot Meunier vintages (Mareuil) and Pinot Noir (Ambonnay and Bisseuil). Malolactic fermentation is blocked to ensure the wine's liveliness when aged. An ever-increasing proportion of clear wines are fermented in barrels, which enhances the finesse of the bubbles. We appreciate the perfect homogeneity of a personal range, just reward for synchronized efforts in viticulture and vinification.
