The Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs Vindey-Montgueux NV is an elegant Extra Brut Champagne crafted entirely from Chardonnay, bringing together fruit from the distinctive terroirs of Vindey and Montgueux. This non-vintage cuvée highlights the contrast between Vindey's freshness and floral character and Montgueux's richness and chalky depth, creating a beautifully balanced Blanc de Blancs with remarkable purity. It is produced with low-temperature fermentation, no malolactic fermentation and an Extra Brut dosage of just 2g/L to preserve freshness and terroir expression.
On the palate, it is crisp and refined with vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. Flavours of lemon, green apple, white peach and pear are layered with delicate white flowers, subtle brioche and pronounced chalky minerality. The finish is dry, focused and lingering, showcasing the freshness and precision that define this Chardonnay-based Champagne.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy grower Champagne with freshness, finesse and mineral precision. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns or seared scallops. Best served well chilled and enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit, while it will continue to develop additional complexity over the next 3–5 years.
