Gimonnet-Gonet’s L Extra Blanc de Blancs, Grand Cru, Extra Brut is a striking example of precision and elegance. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, this 100% Chardonnay is a pure expression of the region’s finest terroirs, particularly from vineyards in Cramant and Oger. The winemaking is carefully handled by Philippe Gimonnet, who ensures a long maturation period on lees, creating complexity and depth while maintaining vibrant freshness. Expect aromas of green apple and citrus, with subtle notes of brioche from the extended lees ageing. On the palate, the wine delivers crisp minerality, a clean, refreshing acidity, and a light salinity, balanced by delicate hints of white flowers and lemon zest. Its extra brut dosage keeps the finish dry and refined, ideal for those who appreciate the precision and structure of a well-crafted Blanc de Blancs.

Gimonnet Gonet’s L’Origine is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne composed of fruit from five Grand Cru villages—Oiry, Chouilly, Oger, Cramant, Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. As Gimonnet Gonet eschews the use of oak, the wine is fermented in stainless steel before it’s blended with reserve wines (30-35%), then aged in bottle for 22-36 months. Its golden colour, and mild mousse, leads to an expressive nose of bright fruit and a subtle nuttiness. The palate is grippy and fresh, yet creamy and elegant, with stone fruit, lemon zest, and a sense of minerality. 6g/l dosage.

This is an elegant Champagne from AR Lenoble with a dominance of Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs providing soft nutty flavour with fine bubbles and a fruity nose. It is fresh, light, lively and well balanced on the palate with a long satisfying flavour. An impeccably crafted wine from noble fruit sources, offering sensational value for money. A delightful bouquet is filled with lifted lemon blossom, red berries of all kinds and stone fruit depth. The palate is honed and focused, structured around the taut lemon and grapefruit of Chardonnay and understated generosity of white peach, pear and red berries of Pinots. A bright finish is accented with tense energy and an undercurrent of salty Chouilly chalk minerality. 94 Points Tyson Stelzer
