GONET-MÉDEVILLE Tradition Brut 1er Cru NV
70% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir, 5% meunier; 80% Bisseuil, 15% Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, 5% Mareuil-sur-Aÿ; 80% 2019 base vintage; 10% vinified in old casks; bottled April 2020; disgorged January 2023; 4g/L dosage; 30,000 bottles. <br> A chardonnay lead is unexpected for a cuvée centred firmly on the premier cru of Bisseuil (between Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Tour-sur-Marne), but the result is compelling, projecting the elegance and purity of both the site and the village in grapefruit tang, lemon freshness and beurre bosc pear crunch with a kiwi fruit tang. <br> The warm 2019 season sets the stage for a fruity style accented with subtle spice. Low dosage heightens the tang on the finish, though some phenolic bite renders it a fraction bitter. <br> Tasted in 2023
RUBICON Meerlust 2022
The 2022 Rubicon is aged for 18 months in 60% new oak. This has a pleasant nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, hints of cedar and dark chocolate coming through with time. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine tannins, well balanced with a bright and sapid finish. This is a well-made Rubicon that should age with style.
