Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet Blanc de Noirs “L’Etonnant”

Andy Says: "Did I read that right? A Grand Cru Champagne for $50? Gimonnet-Gonet is a family estate based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most prestigious Gran Cru Villages in Champagne and home to the region's most legendary Chardonnay vineyards. "L'Origine" is their classic Blanc de Blancs, made entirely from Grand Cru fruit grown on chalk rich soils that give the wine its signature tension, minerality and elegance. Expect aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, brioche and crushed chalk, with a palate that is simultaneously creamy and laser focused. Long aging on the lees adds a subtle pastry richness, beautifully balanced by that unmistakable Mesnil precision. If you're craving an incredible Champagne at an outrageously low price, this is the one!"
