2007  Gonet-Médeville Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs

Gonet-Médeville Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs ---- "Features fragrant aromas of jasmine and stargazer lily that waft through a lovely range of white cherry, chopped almond and candied ginger flavors and a rich, underlying streak of salinity. Plush in texture, with the detailed flavor range structured by a mouthwatering, crystalline frame of acidity." - 94pts, Wine Spectator ---- "You’d think the debut of Gonet-Médeville’s 2007 Grand Cru ‘Louvière’ would be met with deafening fanfare and critical acclaim. Instead, just 60 bottles were quietly ushered into America, making this one of the year’s greatest, rarest, and most clandestine Champagnes." - Mark Osburn, Sommelier & Champagne Specialist ---- "What made me want to make Champagne was wines from '29, '45, '55, '59, '61, '64 - I want to make wines like that", says Xavier. You need have no fear of cellaring these wines to see how they evolve, however delicious they are now. ---- Louvière is very crispy, intense, crystalline and pure, definitively a great Champagne for aperitif while Champ d'Alouette is much more powerful, complex and gastronomic. Dosage: 2g/l Time on lees: 11 years (disgorged in 2019)

2015  

Terroir of "Le Montjoly" is located in the Grand Cru village of Les Mesnil sur Oger and enjoys higher percentage of clay with flints and deeper soil than most of other sites of the village. Seven parcels from this terroir, yield the grapes used to make this extremely rare and already sought-after cuvee. They are vinified separately and undergo different vinification. Partial Malo, the cuvée always result from a blend of a very sharp selection of the best available juices. Each vintage age at least 6 years on the lees before disgorgement. These vines, impacted by the quality of the terroir and our mass selection practices, provide the definitive statement of the particular style of this clayey terroir. A wine which achieves an ideal combination of an aerial nose and a mix of full mouth, resonance and mineral vividness. Dosage : 3,5 to 4,5 g/L

2002  Chardonnay

This series is intended to express the work of a man on his soil.

Vinification in small oak barrels, no malolactic fermentation, no cold stabilisation, no filtration but a lot of passion.

2020  Coteaux Champenois Blanc

Coteaux Champenois Blanc ---- ""The 2020 Coteaux Champenois Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Hommage à Camille is a beautifully precise, incisive wine, unwinding in the glass with notes of white peach, sweet citrus fruit, freshly baked bread and flowers. Medium-bodied, pure and racy, with a tightly wound core and a long, saline finish, it's the best rendition yet of this cuvée from Roederer. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

2020  Coteaux Champenois Rouge

Coteaux Champenois Rouge ---- ""The finest release of this cuvée so far is the 2020 Coteaux Champenois Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Hommage à Camille, an intensely flavored but weightless red that offers up aromas of dark berries, spices, cinnamon and cloves. Medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with lively acids and powdery structuring tannins, it concludes with a delicately oak-inflected finish. As readers will remember, it derives from a 0.43-hectare parcel in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ lieu-dit Charmont that was planted with Burgundian Pinot Noir selections in 2002 and farmed with the intention of producing a still wine. It's matured in one-third new oak, including some 500-liter barrels, from Taransaud, Séguin Moreau and Lagrange." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

2013  

"The 2013 Comtes de Champagne captures all the pedigree of this great vintage in its energy, depth and vibrancy. Lemon confit, dried flowers, chamomile, spice and crushed rocks all race across the palate. Passionfruit, ginger, marzipan and mint appear later, filling out the layers beautifully. Harvest took place in October in what has become the exception rather than the norm in Champagne." - 98 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
