The Gonet-Medeville Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru is a pure delights, prefect for any occassion.
Pinot Noir from the chalky terroir of Bisseuil Premier Cru dominates, complemented by approximately 10% of grapes from the Grand Cru Ambonnay. A total of three hectares south-facing vineyards.
After a very delicate pressing, the hearts of the press are vinified and aged, two-thirds in vats and one-third in oak barrels previously used for several wines. The base harvest is blended with approximately 20% reserve wine. After its fermentation, the wine then spends between 24 and 30 months on slats, polishing and refining its balance.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate | 93 points
“Disgorged in July 2018, the new release of Gonet-Medeville’s NV Brut Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs is showing very well, offering up an appealing bouquet of crisp golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, warm biscuits and dried white flowers. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, broad and vinous, with ripe but racy acids, good depth at the core and a delicate mousse. Concentrated and structured, another year on the cork will be rewarded by additional complexity, even though this is approachable now.”
Wine Spectator | 91 points
“A creamy blanc de noirs, with a minerally underpinning of chalk and smoke accents, this balanced version layers lively acidity and flavors of crushed blackberry, almond biscotti, mandarin orange peel and a hint of white balsamico on a fine mousse.”
