Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Mesnil Sur Oger Millesime, Champagne, France 2016
Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Millésime 2016 is a classic expression of Grand Cru Chardonnay from one of Champagne’s most revered villages. Sourced exclusively from estate vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, this vintage cuvée showcases the remarkable tension, purity, and chalk-driven minerality that have made Le Mesnil a benchmark for world-class Blanc de Blancs. The outstanding 2016 vintage delivers expressive aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, acacia blossom, oyster shell, and crushed chalk, complemented by elegant notes of brioche, toasted almond, and subtle pastry from extended lees aging. The palate is vibrant and impeccably structured, with a refined, persistent mousse, bright citrus acidity, and a crystalline mineral core that carries through an exceptionally long, saline finish. Bottled only in the finest years, this Millésime combines youthful energy with remarkable depth and is built to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. A sophisticated Champagne that perfectly captures the elegance and longevity of Grand Cru Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
