Last fall a few of the SommSelect team embarked on a whirlwind tour of Burgundy and Champagne searching for exclusive import opportunities. Though Burgundy always has a surprise up its sleeve, I was skeptical that we’d find great Champagne that wasn’t already imported. Turns out I was dead wrong. Bonnet-Gilmert is a tiny estate that has been family owned and operated for five generations, and not only do they make exquisite, terroir pure wines, but they happen to do it in the heart of one of Champagne’s most rarefied Grand Cru villages: Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger. How have these gems never been introduced to the U.S.? Turns out they make such a tiny amount of wine–and sell almost all of it in France and other European markets–that importers haven’t even noticed them. So, the wines must be super pricey, right? Nope, they’re outrageously good deals. We have exactly 12 cases of their Brut La Réserve for the entire country, do not hesitate or they’ll be gone!

BONUS: The Bonnet-Gilmert family was gracious enough to send us a few Magnums, and exactly two Jeroboams of the Brut “La Réserve” too. These are extremely rare, and just like the 750mls they’re only available at SommSelect. Click HERE to get one or two, but don’t hesitate!

*NOTE: This is a pre-arrival offer, wines are en route from France and are estimated to arrive in mid-October.
