Michel Gonet 'Vindey Montgueux' Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut NV
(Champagne, France) - [VM 91]

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. The family created this new cuvée separate from their plots in Mesnil to showcase these special terroirs - Montegeux is general more mineral and rounder even when young, all aging is done in tank.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Vinous Media:
"The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Vindey-Montgueux is a bright, nervy Champagne. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, white pepper, slate and sage confer vibrant intensity. Clean, bracing and refreshing, the Blanc de Blancs is beautifully done. This release is perhaps a touch slender, but I admire its energy. Time in the glass brings out a lovely texture to round things out. Dosage is 2gr/L. Disgorged: January, 2023. (Drink between 2023-2033)" - Antonio Galloni (Nov 2023)
