Michel Gonet, Champagne Grand Cru Mesnil sur Oger, 2016
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.
