Michel Gonet, Les Hautes Mottes Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2018
Add something extra ▼
Variety: Chardonnay
The story of Champagne Michel Gonet begins in 1802, when Charles Gonet founded the family’s Champagne house in the Côte des Blancs. More than two centuries later, the estate remains family owned, rooted in Chardonnay and the chalk soils of Mesnil sur Oger, Avize, and Oger. Across generations, the Gonets quietly built a reputation as growers first, farming their own vineyards and bottling wines that speak directly to place rather than a heavily manipulated house style. Their work has long centered around expressing the nuances of Chardonnay through site specific farming, careful élevage, and restrained winemaking.
In 1973, Michel Gonet and his wife Annie established their own cellar in Avize, further sharpening the family’s focus on terroir driven Blanc de Blancs Champagne. The house farms vineyards across the Côte des Blancs as well as Montgueux and Vindey, allowing them to work with a broad range of soils and exposures while maintaining a clear identity built around mineral precision and texture. Fermentations are carried out parcel by parcel with long lees aging and modest dosage levels designed to preserve the structure and character of each site. Today the estate remains family operated and continues to champion sustainable farming and low intervention cellar work.
“Les Hautes Mottes” comes from a single parcel in Le Mesnil sur Oger, one of Champagne’s great Grand Cru Chardonnay villages. The site is planted on deep chalk soils with strong drainage and high mineral content, producing fruit with naturally high acidity and structure. Vinified as a Brut Nature with no dosage, the wine is intended to show the vineyard in its most transparent form, with minimal intervention and long lees aging emphasizing texture and site expression over winemaking influence.
