A grower-Champagne Blanc de Blancs from the heart of the Cote des Blancs Grand Cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger — the chalk-rich village that produces some of Champagne's most precise, age-worthy Chardonnay. Michel Gonet, a respected family producer, draws this Millesime entirely from Le Mesnil's chalky soils, capturing the 2016 vintage's signature poise and definition. Eight years on the lees and counting, it pours with the elegant austerity that Mesnil does so well: a refined nose of brioche, fresh cream, lemon zest, and grapefruit, lifted by mineral, almost menthol-cool aromatics. Ethereal on the attack, taut through the mid-palate, and remarkably long. A vintage Blanc de Blancs that drinks like a love letter to chalk.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half shell, sprawling shellfish platters, sole meuniere with capers, scallop crudo, goujonettes of fried fish, smoked salmon canapes, aged Gruyere, and parmesan-and-truffle gougeres.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied, ethereal, and chalky. Brioche, lemon zest, grapefruit, fresh cream, and crushed oyster shell with a menthol lift. Fine bead, bright acidity, and a long, saline, mineral-driven finish.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
