Gonet-Médeville Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut Cuvée Theophile 2014 (750ml) *

Extra Brut sits at the drier end of Champagne, with minimal dosage that lets the wine's own character carry the finish, and this Grand Cru cuvée from Gonet-Médeville, the 2014 Cuvée Theophile, is built in that spare, precise register. Made by the traditional method, with the secondary fermentation that gives Champagne its fine bead, it is a bottle for someone who wants the fruit and the chalk to speak more loudly than the sugar.
