CHAMPAGNE MICHEL GONET :
History :
    Since 1802, with the creation of the Champagne house GONET, six generations of the family have made the firm grow and prosper.
    In 1973, Michel Gonet whose Champagnes bear his name today, modernized and increased the wine cellars with only one objective : to improve the quality of the wine making.
    Today, the Michel Gonet Champagnes, classified Grand Cru, cover 40 hectares of the best Champagne soil and are highly appreciated by both professionals and amateurs.
Vineyard:
    The Champenois vineyard covers 40 hectares, near Avize (15 kms south of Epernay) in the Côte des Blancs were the great vintages are. This wine is composed of two types of vines which favour fineness and elegance:
    - 90 % of Chardonnay (a Champagne is said Blanc de Blancs when it is 100 % Chardonnay).
    - 10 % of Pinot noir.
    The soil is the best one for the vine as it’s exclusively composed of chalk.
    The Côte des Blancs benefits from an exceptional climate: protected from the cold North winds by a providential hill, slopes exposed to the East and safe from the rainfalls in the valley.
This perfect climate married to an exceptional soil help the Gonet vineyard to be recognised as a Grand Cru, the best regional distinction.
