The Premium Box of Bubbles

A stunning Champagne that I give 10/10 for value for money and flavour. Elegant, rich and creamy, this is a Champagne to write home about. A true Champenois, co-owner and winemaker Thierry Gobillard often mentions that his house is situated a few metres away from Dom Pérignon’s grave and that one of his first birthday present was a pair of “sécateurs”. Maison JM Gobillard is a small family-owned and run property with about 25 hectares of mainly 1er Cru vineyards in Hautvillers. They also buy grapes from some 75 hectares of vines through multiyear agreements with growers selected for their expertise and quality.

Made from Chardonnay and produced in the Burgundy region, this Cremant makes an excellent alternative to Champagne, at half the price. This Crémant possesses a brilliant gold color. The bubbles are fine and pleasant in the mouth. The nose marries fresh aromas of acacia, green apple and white peach with buttery and nutty notes, due to its particularly long aging on laths. It’s a gastronomic wine: round and very complex in the mouth.
