Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet

Born into two families of vignerons, it is perhaps not surprising that Anne Gonet and Philippe Gimonnet decided to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors and in 1986 the first bottles of Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet were created. Since then their sole objective has been to produce champagnes of the highest possible quality.

In 2012 they were joined by their son, Charles, who shares the same commitment and desire to continue what was started many decades ago by previous generations of the family. Starting with just 5 hectares in 1986 our estate now covers 15 hectares, mainly in Grand Cru villages of La Côte des Blancs: Chouilly, Cramant, Oiry, Oger and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger - the heartland of Chardonnay.

In addition we have vines in La Vallée de La Marne in the villages of Bouiquigny, Vincelles, Verneuil and Trélou where we cultivate the two remaining Champagne grape varietals: Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

Our work in the winery is the natural progression of the work done previously in the vineyards; accordingly we wait until the grapes achieve their optimum maturity before we start harvesting and by doing so we preserve all their organoleptic quality.

In the winery we are equipped to press, separately, the grapes from each different village and even from each different plot whenever possible. Consequently we can achieve the utmost consistency and precision in our blends.
