Philippe Gonet, Brut Reserve, NV

Nestled right next door to the infamous Salon and other, big names, in Le Mesnil Sur Oger (the heart of Champagne’s ‘Grand Cru’ Chardonnay Vines, the ‘Côte des Blancs’). Family owned and run, now with the Seventh generation at the helm, brother and sister; Pierre and Chantal.

Having put the Brut Reserve non vintage into countless blind tastings, some hosted by the UK’s leading sommeliers, it has more than rivalled the big names, it’s toppled them. And for the value, it is genuinely hard to beat.

Fruit forward Pinot Noir leads the way (Strawberry, Red Cherry, Raspberry) followed by bags of floral freshness, rich body, creamy balance and great length thanks to a high percentage of Chardonnay and just a dash of Pinot Meunier.

This is genuinely one of the best Champagne Brut NV blends in production today.

Enjoy for Aperitif and revel in the glory at having found that House that very few have the good fortune to know about.

Served as House Champagne at Trishna, Gymkhana, Brigadiers, Koji, Granger & Co…
