<p>Ever wondered how Noble Rot Restaurants served a top-drawer Grower Champagne as their house fizz at affordable prices? You need Michel Gonet in your life.</p><p>The Gonets have been producing wine in Champagne since 1802. Today they farm 40ha, mostly around Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, arguably the most important Grand Cru village of the Côte des Blancs. Here they produce two vintage Blanc des Blancs, one of which is the single-vineyard ‘Le Mesnil’ Grand Cru, a diamond-cut wine with pure citrus fruit and lengthy chalky minerality. It’s a Champagne that far exceeds its price point.</p><p>100% Chardonnay. A pitch-perfect combination of persistent fruit and a lacy autolytic character. Bone dry, racy, and very long. 5 years on lees. 0 g/l dosage. 18 points, Jancis Robinson.</p>
