New Grower-Champagne Alert! Just delicious Champagne Deal Alert! I need more in my glass alert! It’s all of the above with Gimonnet Gonet Blanc de Noirs L’Etonnant. Okay, okay, time to settle down. A blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier, with a high volume of Grand Cru fruit included, this is an absurd value in high-quality Grower Champagne. Trust me, this out-classes a lot of big name Champagnes that would run you $85+. The Giomonnet Gonet is rich and luxurious on the full-bodied palate with notes of baked apple tart (the pastry too) along with a hint of cherry, and hazelnuts. The seductive palate offers a wonderful balance of richness, hedonism and brightness. Limited.
