Pale yellow with a green light. The perlage is abundant and live a fine mousse which stays at the top of the glass. Elegant nose, fine, fresh nuts, subtle vanilla aromas which introduce fresh citrus fruits like grapefruit and lime. The mouth smooth at the beginning lives quickly the place to the lively freshness typical of the chardonnay grape. The end on white flowers has a great salinity which comes from the chalk, makes remember the purity of the origin of the terroir.
Founded in 1830, Champagne Philippe Gonet is located in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Grapes all benefit of the legendary terroir of a limestone subsoil, rich in fossils, 40 meters deep, formed more than 100 million years ago. The 20 hectares of the family's vineyards are spread out on 35 plots planted in 8 different villages.The Philippe Gonet style combine minerality and pleasure.
This more generous blend comes from the three classical Champagne grape varieties. The first third comes from “Le Champ de la Truie” section of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, planted in Chardonnay. The second third comes from the terroir called “Le Tertre,” planted in Pinot Noir, in the area of Montgueux. The last third comes from the parcel “Le pré des vallées,” planted with Pinot Meunier, in the soil of Monthodon. This cuvée is supple and round. It reveals a beautiful fruit complexity and a real depth. The finish is fresh and silky.
