THE COMPANY
Established in 2000 by Xavier Gonet and his wife Julie Médeville, Champagne Gonet-Médeville has 12 hectares that touches 3 Grand Cru municipalities, Mesnil Sur-Oger, Oger and Ambonnay, and another 5 municipalities, all classified Premier Cru. These vineyards, grown under a perfect exposure to the sun in the best “lieu-dits” of the appellation, produce high-level grapes which originate elegant and fine champagnes with a great minerality This small “Récoltant-Manipulant” is among the rising stars of Champagne and produce very low sugar content wines, deeply linked to each particular terroir.The slight hints of the individual villages are well pronounced, only after a few years of permanence on yeasts. The Maison’s style is sharp and precise: fine, taut wines, perfect icons of Champagne in a blend of tradition and innovation of which Blanc de Noirs is the perfect standard-bearer! The union between Xavier’s champenois esprit (heir to on old family of vignerons in Mesnil sur Oger) and Julie’s bordelaise tradition (she is also owner of Château Gilette in Preignac) gives birth to one of the most recognized Champagne in France and Europe.
