Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut La Réserve

What kind of wine it is

Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut by Bonnet Gilmert is a rigorous expression of the Côte des Blancs, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Produced according to the Traditional Method, this sparkling wine develops a structure that delivers a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet releases delicate notes of rose, eucalyptus, dried fruit and yeast. On the palate, it is round and balanced, characterised by a deeply intense flavour evolution. The pleasantly refreshing finish makes it the ideal companion to enhance fish dishes, shellfish, refined starters and cheese selections.

Where it comes from

The roots of this wine lie in the commune of Oger, within the renowned Champagne region. The grapes come from specific plots located in Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, a prime area for Chardonnay. The commitment of the producer Bonnet Gilmert continues a family story that began in 1910, when Emile Gilmert started marketing his own wines. Today, the company follows organic and sustainable farming practices to preserve the integrity of the soil. This artisanal philosophy results in a limited annual production, aimed at faithfully reflecting the original terroir.

How it is produced

The winemaking process follows the principles of the Traditional Method, including a malolactic fermentation that brings greater softness to the structure. Afterwards, the wine undergoes three years of ageing in the cellars, a crucial period for defining its straw-yellow hue and enriching its sensory profile. Praised by critics and awarded two stars by the Hachette Guide, this Champagne shows excellent ageing potential. It can indeed withstand a storage period of between five and ten years, expressing its utmost elegance when served at a temperature between 6 and 8 °C.
