Overview

A single-vineyard Blanc de Noirs from Fravaux in the Côte des Bar, made entirely from Pinot Noir. Le Varlan offers a distinct expression within Michel Gonet’s range: an elegant, savoury Champagne shaped by a cool limestone and flint site, with 18 months on lees and a restrained dosage of 4 g/L.

Vineyard

The Pinot Noir comes from the Le Varlan vineyard in Fravaux. Its cool slope, with limestone and silex (flint), underpins the wine’s character and distinguishes it from the estate’s Chardonnay-based Blanc de Blancs.

Winemaking

Made from 100% Pinot Noir without malolactic fermentation. The wine spends 18 months on lees and is finished with a dosage of 4 g/L.

Producer

The Gonet family has produced wine in the heart of the Côte des Blancs since 1802. Based in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Michel Gonet draws on vineyards across Champagne to make wines that reflect the character of each site.
