The holidays are fast approaching, and delicious, small grower, family-made Champagne is a must-have this time of year. I've got just the wine -- it's the wonderfully priced and delicious Gimonnet-Gonet Blanc de Noir.
Through New Year's Eve 2025, it's just $39.99/bottle -- no further discounts.
Founded in 1986 by husband and wife Anne Gonet and Philippe Gimonnet, each the descendant of a famed Champagne family, they spent years mastering their craft in some of the Côte de Blancs greatest vineyards. Today, they continue to be involved, but they are slowly passing the torch onto their children.

If you want a luxurious bottle of Champagne to toast the holidays with, the family;s Blanc de Noir would be perfect. This blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier includes a high volume of Grand Cru grapes, and this stuff totally out-classes a lot of big name, large production Champagnes that run $60+.
Champagne Gimonnet-Gonet Blanc de Noirs L'Etonnat
Why should you buy it?
- Flowing with rich and attractive aromas and flavors of baked apple, ripe citrus, a hint of cherry, and brioche, it glides across the palate with a wonderful balance of richness and brightness.
- Grower Champagne is the way to go! Wines like Gimonnet-Gonet are made and bottled by the same folks who grew the grapes. These are humble and hard-working farmers who take great pride in their own wines, and supplement their incomes by selling to the larger producers.
- Champagnes like this offer you the best value for your money. The larger, more commercial houses like Veuve Clicquot not only buy most of their grapes, they spend millions on marketing campaigns. Guess who pays for that? You do!
- Champagne is the greatest beverage on the planet! It makes you happy, it goes well with or without food, and it turns a regular occasion into a special one.
One of the best Blanc de Noirs values coming out of Champagne, this delivers serious class and substance at a wonderful price.
On sale for $39.99/bottle ($49.99 regular price) through NYE 2025!
