Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2018 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Xavier Gonet has set up on his own in Bisseuil, a premier cru in the Marne valley, with his wife Julie, née Médeville, of Château Gilette in Sauternes. They have an original range of vines at their disposal: the family's contribution of great Chardonnays from Mesnil-sur-Oger (Louvière, Champ d'Alouette), good Pinot Meunier vintages (Mareuil) and Pinot Noir (Ambonnay and Bisseuil). Malolactic fermentation is blocked to ensure the wine's liveliness when aged. An ever-increasing proportion of clear wines are fermented in barrels, which enhances the finesse of the bubbles. We appreciate the perfect homogeneity of a personal range, the just reward for synchronized efforts in viticulture and vinification.

I was very disappointed by this champagne, even though I was familiar with it. Two of the three bottles were really acidic. A pity! I remembered it as a well-made champagne.

Very good champagne. For my personal taste, it could do with a little more "dryness". However, the tasting was very pleasant and the guests were delighted. Nothing to complain about in terms of shipping. The parcel arrived on the date announced and the packaging was particularly meticulous. Congratulations and see you soon!
