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:
92 points — Vinous
A Blanc de Blancs that “melds together beautifully in the glass,” with pretty, chalky notes lingering on a polished, impeccable finish.
87 points — Gault&Millau (2026 guide)
Citrus, peach, almond, toasted bread and iodine; a light attack and energetic bubbles, with pear and a hint of licorice; round and silky.
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. Signature is the house’s classic non-vintage Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay with around 30% reserve wines, aged on the lees and finished with a modest dosage. Citrus, peach, almond and brioche lead to a silky, chalky finish, and Vinous awarded 92 points. A superb introduction to the Le Mesnil style.
