Gonet Medeville Tradition 1er Cru Brut NV (750ML)

92 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "There's a plush creaminess to this balanced Champagne, and citrusy acidity enlivens the expressive flavors of blackberry clafoutis, lemon curd and grilled nut. Hints of spice and grated ginger play on the finish. Disgorged September 2019. Drink now through 2025. 7,000 cases made, 86 cases imported." 12/20

92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Disgorged in July 2018, this bottle of Gonet-Medeville's NV Brut Premier Cru Tradition is showing very well, bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, honeycomb, dried citrus rind, walnuts and fresh brioche. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and fleshy, with ripe but racy acids, fine depth at the core and a long, sapid finish. This is a complex Champagne that sees some barrel fermentation." 04/20

90 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Pale onion skin color. Spicy, floral citrus fruits and redcurrant on the incisive nose. Sharply delineated blood orange and bitter red berry skin flavors are complemented by notes of white pepper and mace, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Closes dry and tight, with echoing spiciness and very good persistence." 12/13
