2002 Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Reserve Familiale Magnum 1,5 Liter

The Michel Gonet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2002 Réserve Familiale Magnum is a rare vintage Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, crafted by Michel Gonet from 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Displaying a golden hue with fine bubbles, it offers a complex nose of dried apricot, candied lemon, and brioche, with hints of truffle, almond, and chalky minerality. The palate is rich and creamy, with vibrant acidity, a refined mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (4 g/L) and 15+ years of lees aging, it reflects the exceptional 2002 vintage’s depth. The magnum format enhances aging potential. Perfect with caviar, lobster, or aged cheeses, it’s a luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age further, developing richer notes. This Réserve Familiale showcases Gonet’s mastery, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking prestige and complexity in a magnum Blanc de Blancs.
