ABOUT THIS WINE
"Les Hautes Mottes" is a single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Michel Gonet, produced without any added sugar (Brut Nature). Sourced from a specific parcel in the Côtes des Blancs, known for its chalky soils, this wine highlights the terroir’s natural minerality and freshness. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its crisp character. After a period of lees aging, the wine is bottled without dosage, showcasing the purity of the Chardonnay and the vineyard's terroir.
The 2017 vintage delivers a precise, bone-dry Champagne that reflects both the exceptional quality of the grapes and the skillful winemaking techniques at Michel Gonet.
