Gonet Sulcova Blanc de Blancs Champagne Brut

Épernay, Champagne France

Four generations of winegrowers have succeeded one another in the vines, making them a benchmark for the independent domains of Champagne.  Vincent Gonet and his wife Davy Sulcova took the reins of the estate in 1985, and decided to settle in Épernay in order to create their brand “Gonet-Sulcova”. When it was created, an avant-garde house, which broke the traditional codes of traditional champagne bottle composition with its unique labels, designed by Davy Sulcova himself.
Their champagnes always have low dosage , so as not to mask the original juice and so that the terroir can fully express itself in each bottle.  Key to the family stance on sustainable wine making, the grapes are pressed close to the vines and stored in the family caves 12m underground.  Courageously, if the cuvée does not meet the requirement and the taste of the owners, it is not sold.

This award wining Blanc de Blancs uses chardonnay wines handpicked from the growers select 30-year old vines in Montgeux, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Troyes.  This ensures that this excellent Blanc de Blancs is balanced with subtle acidity, citrus and green apples that keeps your palate alive as an aperitif or with Loch bay lobsters and seafood!
