Founded in 1830, Champagne Philippe Gonet sits alongside legends such as the Champagne Salon and Clos du Mesnil. The vineyards, which cover 19 hectares and are spread over 11 different villages, are dominated by Chardonnay. A third of the Chardonnay vineyards are located in Le Mesnil, the oldest of which was planted in 1929. Today the winery is run by the seventh generation of the family represented by brother and sister - Pierre and Chantal Gonet. They continue to produce wines that fully express the qualities of the Chardonnay grapes from Le Mesnil and have a distinct structure that reflects the rich, pure, nuanced mineral character of the Le Mesnil-sur-Auger terroir. The wine house has built its reputation on Blanc de Blancs wines for over 100 years. The Gonet family is one of the largest producers of grapes in Champagne, with most of it grown on their own land. Pierre and Chantal try to fully convey the qualities of Le Mesnil's terroir through their Blanc de Blancs cuvées.
