TASTING NOTES

Undoubtedly the cuvée that best represents the Bonville style. It reflects our vision of a Blanc de Blancs from the Côte des Blancs: remarkable finesse and elegance, with a beautiful minerality wrapped in the creamy texture brought by careful vinification and the integration of reserve wines. -Winemaker's Notes

 

92pts - Wine Enthusiast

"Based on the 2020 vintage with some vins de réserve from 2021, Bonville's NV Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs displays a delicate, floral bouquet of spring blossoms, blanched almonds and lemon oil. Moderately weighted, round and elegant, it's beautifully citrusy on the mid-palate with a pure, clean and crystalline texture that segues into a long, mouthwatering finish. With a dosage of 4.2 grams per liter, this 100% Chardonnay is derived from vines planted in Avize, Oger and Cramant."

 

17/20 - Jancis Robinson

"Strongly yeasty, savoury nose. Creamy, smoky style with lots of flesh – helped by the well-integrated dosage. Moderate length, but that smoky tone persists well. Has the classic hallmarks of champagne plus that interesting smoky character."
