Champagne Gondé-Rousseaux is a small family estate, founded in 1976 by Edith Rousseaux and Didier Gondé, parents of the current winemaker Florian Gondé. They run a little less than 4 hectares on the commune of Taissy, close to Reims. The estate works organic and biodynamic : the wines are produced as naturally as possible. A Very low amount of sulfites is added to the wines, and no non-natural products are added. Their philosophy: 100% single vineyard, and micro-vinification!

Advice
Tasting
An orange-copper visual entry to accompany notes of cherry and fruit brandy which follow in the mouth with aromas of red fruits with raspberry and blackcurrant dominance. Gourmet and warm champagne, it is during the aperitifs that it will be fresh and tonic.
