2008 Philippe Gonet Belemnita Grand Cru Gift Box 0,75 Liter

The Philippe Gonet Belemnita Grand Cru 2008 in Gift Box is a prestigious vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, crafted by Philippe 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 ripe apple, candied lemon, and brioche, with hints of truffle, almond, and chalky minerality. The palate is rich and elegant, with vibrant acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (4 g/L) and ~12-14 years of lees aging, it reflects the exceptional 2008 vintage’s finesse. Presented in a gift box, it’s perfect for gifting. Perfect with caviar, lobster, or aged cheeses, it’s a luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age for 10+ years, developing richer notes. This Belemnita showcases Gonet’s mastery, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking prestige and complexity.
