The Franck Bonville estate in Avize has been producing wine from their holdings in Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil sur Oger for four generations, and today Olivier Bonville, along with his son-in-law Ferdinand Ruelle-Dudel, are guiding the 15-hectare domaine toward ever more precise and distinctive renderings of these terroirs.
-
Winemaker: Olivier Bonville
- Farming: Sustainably farmed Grand Cru vineyards.
- Variety: 100% Chardonnay
- Terroir: Cote des Blancs; 70% from the 2020 harvest with 30% from the 2019 harvest, from various holdings in the grand crus Avize and Oger
- Vinification: Disgorged after two years of lees aging and given a dosage—determined through blind tasting trials—of 8.3 grams per liter
- Tasting Notes: Reading much drier on the palate than the dosage might suggest, this offers pretty notes of white flowers atop ample but refined fruit and an underlying impression of gunflint.
