Our Provenance Guarantee
Purchase with confidence. All of our wines are selectively sourced and thoroughly inspected for authenticity and signs of poor storage. Accepted bottles are preserved in our climate-controlled cellar until they reach your doorstep. We have no storefront and no walk-in traffic, so nothing is moved or handled between inspection and shipping.
The bottle you see photographed is the bottle you receive (or fundamentally identical when multiple bottles are listed), and our commitment to you is that it arrives as represented. If it doesn’t, we want to hear from you.
Ratings & Tasting Notes:
90 points — Gault&Millau (2025 guide)
An intense orange-pink color, with roses, honeysuckle, redcurrant, raspberry, cherry and a touch of melon. Fleshy on the palate, with redcurrant jam, crushed raspberry and well-balanced bubbles; a fine partner for duck breast or a chocolate dessert.
Cult Wines International Notes:
Champagne Philippe Gonet is based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru village that is also home to Salon and to Krug’s Clos du Mesnil. The Gonet family has tended vines in Champagne for seven generations, since at least 1830, and settled in Le Mesnil in 1910. Philippe Gonet founded the house under his own name in 1972, and today his children Pierre and Chantal lead the estate, farming about 20 hectares across dozens of parcels, two-thirds of them Chardonnay.
Le Mesnil’s chalk runs deep, in places as much as 40 meters, and gives its Chardonnay the piercing minerality, tension and longevity that have made Salon, from the very same village, one of the most coveted Champagnes in the world. That Chardonnay forms the backbone of this Brut Rosé, about 90% of the blend, given its color and depth by red Pinot Noir wine from Vertus and roughly 30% reserve wines. The result is an elegant, fleshy rosé of roses, honeysuckle, redcurrant, raspberry and cherry. Gault&Millau awarded 90 points.
