Gonet-Médeville Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Cuvée Theophile 2009 (750ml) *

Extra Brut means low dosage, so this vintage Champagne from Gonet-Médeville leans dry and lets the fruit speak on its own terms. The Cuvée Theophile draws from Grand Cru fruit and carries a 2009 date, a single-year bottling rather than a blend across harvests. Like all Champagne, it takes its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle, and the extended time on the lees that method allows tends to build texture and depth rather than simple fizz.
