Gimonnet-Gonet
L’Origine Grand Cru
Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Le Mesnil Sur Oger NV
High on the chalky slopes of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne’s most revered village, Gimonnet-Gonet’s L’Origine Blanc de Blancs delivers a portrait of purity and precision that belies its price. This wine reflects its legendary terroir with crystalline clarity. From its electric minerality to its tensile backbone of acidity, L’Origine channels the distinctive tension and elegance for which Le Mesnil is famed.
Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay and drawn from vines averaging 35 to 40 years in age, the wine gains quiet authority and layered depth. The cuvée is composed of a reserve of multiple vintages, assembled to maintain house character and amplify nuance.
Fermented in stainless steel and kept deliberately free from malolactic conversion, L’Origine preserves a lifted, stony brightness. It then rests 22 to 36 months on the lees, gaining volume and creamy texture without sacrificing its driving core. Disgorged just six months before release, the wine retains its precision and vibrancy. This is Blanc de Blancs in its purest form: linear, luminous, and deeply evocative of place.

“The Champagne Gimonnet Gonet L’Origine Blanc de Blancs from Le Mesnil Sur Oger is nothing short of extraordinary. The nose begins with notes of chalky minerality, and the cold, crisp essence of winter’s first snowfall. Aromas unfold with elegant layers of lemon zest, apple, quince, pear, and raw almonds that transfer to the palate, with a burst of vivacious acidity, and a hint of a slightly glazed, flaky pastry lending a delicate richness and balance to match the wine’s innate brightness and finesse.”
