The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Based in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs region, the Michel Gonet family-run Champagne house is an established name, expertly crafting champagnes of great purity, with Chardonnay as the dominant grape variety. 

With their 2017, a very fresh vintage, the House has achieved a new feat of brilliance: a non-dosed champagne, aged seven years on slats, offering a touch of palate equal to that of the greatest houses.
Wine From the terroirs of Vindey, Montgueux and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, cellar-aged for 7 years on laths, the 2017 Les 3 Terroirs Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Champagne offers a palate feel worthy of the greatest Champagne houses. It is marked by beautiful aromas of ripe chardonnay, with intense lemony aromas. The palate is highly complex, invigorating, and fresh, with a hint of acidity and a slightly musky finish. All in all, a beautifully complex bottle. A Selection Committee Favorite rated 95+/100.
Vinification Hand-harvested, fermented at low temperature, no malolactic fermentation and aged for a minimum of 5 years on lath in the cellars.
Extra-Brut dosage: 5g/l.
