The Franck Bonville estate boasts 15 hectares of beautiful Grand Cru vineyards, 100% Chardonnay, spread over Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger. Franck Bonville's range of champagnes is made up of different crus, many of which have a distinctive brioche flavour. In the Bonville range, the "Brut Grand Cru" is a Blanc de Blancs made from the terroirs of Avize and Oger, and a blend of 3 years, with a style based on freshness and finesse, as well as minerality and lightness. After 30 months in the cellar, this Brut Grand Cru is disgorged 9 months after bottling, and benefits from a dosage of 9 Gr, giving it plenty of roundness. The "Millésime 2014" Blanc de Blancs is elegant and delicate, with greedy, fruity aromas (pear, mirabelle plum, banana) and notes of white flowers and citrus fruit, supported by a touch of toasted brioche. The palate is full-bodied and tangy, with rich aromas of mango, orange and mirabelle plum. The string of bubbles is fine and discreet, but very persistent. Made from vines grown on the Grand Cru d'Avize terroir, this cuvée has spent more than 5 years in the cellar, and its Brut dosage gives it roundness and balance.Rosé Grand Cru" Champagne is round and silky, with subtle red fruit aromas. The wine is made from Chardonnay Grand Cru d'Avize, topped up with 10% Pinot Noir Grand Cru d'Ambonnay, vinified as a red wine. The nose is dominated by aromas of wild strawberry and cherry, accompanied by notes of brioche, vanilla and dried fruit, quite characteristic of Chardonnay. The attack is full-bodied, well complemented by notes of crisp red fruit and good minerality. The "Les Belles Voyes" cuvée is a vintage, single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay from Oger. The 0.8 hectare plot of Les Belles Voyes is situated mid-slope and was planted in 1960. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels and the bottles are aged for 5 years before disgorging, with a dosage of just 2.5g. On the nose, this Champagne reveals an exceptional aromatic bouquet, with pastry and gourmet fragrances, followed on the palate by buttery, ample and generous notes. This rich, full-bodied wine offsets a fresher, mentholated, iodised touch, as well as a slight, subtle oxidation that is deliberately sought after. Franck Bonville, an estate worth discovering.
