Michel Gonet, Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru, Mesnil Sur Oger, Champagne, France, 2015

Overview of the Wine
Gonet is a very old name in Champagne. The family moved to Champagne from the Beaujolais in the 15th century and worked in the vineyards before establishing a Champagne house in the early 1800s. Each subsequent generation helped lay a foundation for a successful domaine with the most recent patriarch, Michel Gonet, enlarging the cellars in Avize and refocusing their winemaking in the 1970s.

The total holdings are around 40 hectares, consisting mostly of Chardonnay on the Côte des Blancs. The vines are located in the villages of Le Mesnil sur Oger, a little further south, in Vindey on the Sézannais hillsides, and also near Troyes, on the slopes of Montgueux.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes 
From the classic Grand Cru village of Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for its razor-sharp acidity, comes this elegant vintage Blanc de Blancs champagne. Delicate aromas of citrus and green apple are given weight by a lightly creamy, biscuit texture. Acidity is nervy and cutting, still very fresh over eight years after the vintage. A long, persistent, subtly spicy finish completes this keenly priced wine.

96 Points - by Ian Blackburn | Tasted Jun 25th, 2022
I first tasted this wine on release in summer of 2021 - the wine was a little naive out of the blocks in its youthful but I must report on this wine now as it is a blockbuster.  You could tell the elements were all there a year ago but 1 year more on my self... and now the wine is ready for all to review as it enters its 10th year.  This is a GRAND CRU vineyard, a blanc de blancs... and it shows you so much by showing you so little... its so razor sharp, crystalline, sea-salt, young yellow pear, and youthful yellow apple.  There is a GLUG-GLUB character about this wine - you just can't have a little of it.  So refreshing - Color is Crystaline 14.5/15, Aroma is delicate, tender fruits, chalk, sea-salt 24/25, Body is razor sharp but has definitive quality nuances 23.5/25, Overall impression is 34/35 = 96 Points
