Gonet-Médeville Champagne Grand Cru Extra-Brut Blanc De Noirs Les Savelons Bouzy 2019 (750ml) *

A Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs made entirely from Pinot Noir grown in Bouzy, this single-vineyard cuvée from Gonet-Médeville, labeled Les Savelons and drawn from the 2019 vintage, is Champagne in its most red-fruit-forward register. The Extra-Brut dosage keeps sugar to a minimum, letting the wine's structure and the character of the site speak, and like all Champagne it takes its fine bead from a second fermentation carried out in the bottle.

Blanc de Noirs from a village like Bouzy tends toward depth and breadth rather than delicacy, with the weight and orchard-and-berry tone that Pinot Noir lends to sparkling wine. Expect a dry, savory expression built for the table.
