The winegrower's intention is there: to translate the pure beauty of the alliance of an exceptional subsoil and the vines which feed on its genius. Pierre is responsible for creating local wines, precise, delicate, defined, aesthetic champagnes, Chantal is the proud embassy of the vast world. They placed their steps in the light of a path drawn since 1830 in the heart of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne, Chantal and Pierre Gonet, brother and sister walk there in beauty today.
Vintage 2016: Spring is coming extraordinarily rainy and cool. Torrential rains fell on the vineyard and filled the groundwater. Good weather finally set in in July and then extreme heat conditions applied to a grape at the start of ripening, resulting in widespread scalding during the days of August 26 and 27. Chardonnay is little affected by mildew and powdery mildew and its yield is correct. The quality looks honorable for a beautiful balanced vintagey
