"Nose of red and black fruits with momentum and a well-held velvety texture, this wine should however be given a few months to reach its full potential." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2018). A gourmet, tasty cuvée, to be enjoyed throughout a meal, for example... (not sparkling)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 17/20 (Vin de référence)
Estate rated (2018 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Red and black fruit on the nose, with a lively, velvety texture, but this wine needs a few months to reach its full potential.
About the domain :
The vines, remarkably well cultivated, are located on the excellent slopes of Bisseuil, Ambonnay and Mesnil, resulting in well-balanced blends in all cuvées.

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Estate rated (2018 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Still in its prime, the coteaux-champenois Athénaïs 2015 delivers dense flesh and acidity enveloped by luxurious, consensual breeding.
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, from 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, just reward for synchronized efforts in viticulture and vinification.
