Champagne Michel Gonet - Épernay
Champagne Gonet was founded in 1802 and since then, six generations of family members have ensured that the House has grown and prospered. In 1973, Michel Gonet, whose Champagnes bear his name today, took over, modernizing and expanding the cellars.
This 40 hectare grower estate stretches from south of Epernay, and includes the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger, and extends to to the hillsides of Sezanne.
The Pinot Noir vineyards are located in Fravaux on the hillsides of Bar sur Aubois in the south of Champagne. About 20% of the grapes grown are Pinot Noir used for Rosé Champagne, with the rest dedicated to Chardonnay.
Michel Gonet has now retired and he has put his daughter Sophie at the helm of the Gonet Champagne House. Sophie has the honor to be the President of Women Winegrowers of Champagne and also "l' Universe du Gout en Champagne."
