“Aromas of cherry clafoutis and spices; on the palate, it displays Pinot-like intensity with just the right amount of richness and a lovely finish with a hint of stone fruit.” (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2017) A complex, full-bodied wine with aromas of white fruit and white flowers, accented by citrus notes. Delicious!

About the wine:

The nose offers notes of baked apple—quite straightforward. On the palate, this champagne reveals its character, with good body and a lovely savory quality that lingers on the finish. A cuvée to be enjoyed for its savory and briny notes, which will pair wonderfully with a meal.

Rated estate (2018 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

A lightly tinted Champagne that reveals lovely, complex flavors of red berries on a rich, indulgent palate.

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, of Château Gilette in Sauternes. They have a unique selection of vineyards: the family’s contribution of great Chardonnays from Mesnil-sur-Oger (Louvière, Champ d’Alouette), as well as fine Pinot Meunier (Mareuil) and Pinot Noir (Ambonnay and Bisseuil) wines. To ensure the wine retains greater liveliness as it ages, malolactic fermentation is halted. Furthermore, an increasingly significant portion of the clear wines ferments in barrels, which enhances the finesse of the bubbles. We appreciate the perfect consistency of this distinctive range, a well-deserved reward for the coordinated efforts in viticulture and winemaking.
