Champagne Michel Gonet – Cuvée Authentique 2005, Blanc de Blancs – Mesnil-sur-Oger, Grand Cru

(Disgorgement: 20/01/2020) The nose is aromatic, racy and offers a fine richness / intensity as well as power. It reveals notes of limestone, crunchy / fresh peach, warm apple and fresh lemon associated with touches of crushed yellow fruits, apricot as well as toasted hints, nutmeg, toasted / vanilla, beeswax and a discreet hint of fresh flowers. The palate is fruity, racy, elegant and offers a good definition, juiciness, a beautiful mineral frame, gourmandize, roundness, a beautiful suavity, deepness as well as finesse. The effervescence is elegant, well-built, fine and offers dynamism. On the palate this Champagne expresses notes of quince, juicy citrus and small notes of pulpy small yellow fruits associated with touches of warm apple, crushed mirabelle plum as well as fine hints of beeswax, fresh / toasted oak as well as a very discreet hint of vanilla and almond. Good length. A very discreet chew on the persistence. A gourmand and complete Champagne.
