Welcome to the world of Champagne FAMOUS, born of the partnership between Maison Michel Gonet (Avize) and H&E Signature, which already distributes Champagne HERITAGE – Prince Henri d'Orléans, Royal Highness.
The birth of this champagne is part of the common desire to promote the culture of Excellence; the know-how of French artisans, farmers, winegrowers; a certain "French way of life" mixing authenticity and modernity ... to protect a thousand-year-old heritage.
Famous, through its cuvées associated with well-known personalities (singers, painters, sculptors, historical figures, etc.), aims to honor the talent, the human or artistic qualities, the values defended by these celebrities through the ages.
The Joséphine Baker cuvée is in memory of this formidable artist, Icon of the Roaring Twenties and committed woman, who joined the Resistance during the Second World War within the secret services of Free France. Close to General de Gaulle and Princess Grace of Monaco who welcomed her to Monaco with all her family, she became known in Paris in the 1920s by dancing at the Folies Bergères and the Théâtre des Champs Élysées. She returns to the Panthéon in 2021, thus joining the republican "temple" dedicated to honoring the great figures who have marked the History of France.
This cuvée is expressed in the form of a Brut Blanc de Noirs champagne. It is a white champagne in appearance, made from a red wine grape variety, here Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bars, on the hillsides of Fravaux (Aube). Vinous, powerful and fleshy, it is one of the most confidential and original champagnes, with an obvious class, in the same way as its muse, Joséphine Baker. Fresh wine with notes of brioche, with a subtle fruitiness, touches of citrus, a beautiful floral profile and a very pleasant finish, it is perfect as an aperitif and to accompany a meal featuring fish, scallops and seafood. will also have its place on meat or game dishes as well as on soft cheeses.
Making a Champagne is above all a job of sensations, emotions and passion which depends on the elements, where patience, humility and the strength of conviction become essential qualities for success.
"The earth does not belong to man, it’s man who belongs to the earth": for 7 generations, the House Michel Gonet has been striving to learn from this adage to produce quality and respectful wines. of the environment. Sophie Gonet and her team are developing a consistent practice of reasoned cultivation, tillage and grass cover, with the aim of reducing inputs and protecting the biodiversity of her plots. Simple but essential habits for the preservation of natural areas are put in place: preserve woods or hedges, preserve ecological buffer zones, manage our water resources, etc...
It’s by following this path, driven by the breath of curiosity, the adventure of seeking the best, that the Brut Blanc de Noirs champagne (from Pinots Noirs), selected for our FAMOUS Champagne, has been developed.
