Michel Gonet is a winegrower - récoltant-manipulant - from Avize, a small village in the Côte des
Blancs, cultivating about forty acres.
Today I’m writing about a blanc de blancs, made from only Chardonnay grapes coming from
vineyards classified Grands Crus of Oger and Mesnil sur Oger, expression of a
single vintage.
In the glass a rich and luminous yellow gold, with oxidized
drifts. The perlage is quite dense
and persistent, with a nice creamy effervescence.
The olfactory register is initially tight, but after
half an hour starts to unfold.
I feel distinctly, honey, chamomile, coffee,
dried fruit, lightly toasted, hints of iodine and chalky.
On the palate the entry is dry and pleasant, with nice
freshness and a good correspondence nose-mouth. Minerality and chalk mainly, with
oxidized nuances. A good balance, a good structure and just dosed. Tangy final and slightly bitter.
A champagne throughout the meal.
