"The Athénaïs cuvée from the Champagne hillsides arrives in the aromatic 2011 vintage: a colorful Pinot Noir, with notes of marc and cocoa, both round and delivering subtle bitterness. It is ready to drink now." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 - RVF). A delicious, flavorful cuvée to be enjoyed throughout a meal, for example... (non-sparkling)

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.
