Philippe Gonet Belemnita Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay 2009

$295

Gonet's Belemnita is their tête de cuvée vintage blanc de blancs bottling, that spends 10 years minimum on the less...and it's positively gorgeous.  It melds that focused, briny, mineral-driven, laser-like character of Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger, with a broader, textured, nutty/honeyed profile you get from a mature wine.  Like I said, positively gorgeous...especially with more delicate fare like fine seafood/sushi... Vintage: 2009 Country: France Region: Champagne Appellation: Champagne Grapes: Chardonnay Drink: Now-2030

So many bubbles! Really impressive. Very complex. Cream, brioche, citrus, good amount of saline, herbal honey, honeysuckle. So well integrated at this moment. Better with 3 hours of air and closer to room temperature. Long finish with lemons, almonds, tangerine, bit of grass. Definitely one of the best champagnes I’ve had.
