Gimonnet Gonet

Producer in Mesnil sur Oger with vineyards in all the great villages of the Cote des Blancs. The wines are fresh and fruity although I sensed a hint of oxidation on my last tasting of Cuvee d’Or. The rest of the production has a green stalkyness to them.

There is nothing outwardly exiting about these wines and I must admit I feel I want a touch more given the address…
