Philippe Gonet Roy Soleil Grand Cru 0,75 Liter

The Philippe Gonet Roy Soleil Grand Cru is an exquisite Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut from the Champagne region, crafted by Philippe Gonet, a family-run house in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Made from 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards, it displays a pale gold hue with fine bubbles and a vibrant nose of lemon curd, green apple, and white peach, with hints of brioche, almond, and chalky minerality. The palate is elegant and structured, with crisp acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Fermented in stainless steel with partial oak aging and a low dosage (4 g/L), it reflects the chalk-rich terroir of the Côte des Blancs. Perfect with lobster, scallops, or creamy cheeses, it elevates fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age for 5-10 years, developing richer, toasty notes. This Roy Soleil showcases Gonet’s expertise in crafting pure, terroir-driven Champagnes, offering a refined expression of Grand Cru Chardonnay for enthusiasts seeking elegance and complexity in a Blanc de Blancs.
