Description
What kind of wine is it
The Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut by Franck Bonville represents an elegant interpretation of the region by the winery. Made from Chardonnay grapes and produced using the Traditional Method, it reveals a very fine perlage and a creamy mousse. The bouquet releases aromas of acacia, white peach and grapefruit, with delicate hints of honey. Fresh on the palate, it offers a pronounced saline minerality, ideal for pairing with shellfish or soft cheeses.
Where does it come from
This Champagne originates in the heart of France, in the renowned Côte des Blancs. The Grand Cru vineyards are located in the communes of Avize and Oger, a prime area for Chardonnay. The vineyard management adopts sustainable viticultural practices with full respect for the environment. The unique characteristics of these lands give the wine great aromatic purity and a marked gustatory tension, offering a pure and vibrant expression of the terroir in the glass.
How is it produced
The creation of the cuvée is based on a skilful blend vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the freshness and primary aromas of the fruit. The prise de mousse strictly follows the Traditional Method, developing an enveloping tactile softness. The wine is finished with a carefully measured Brut dosage, which enhances its clarity of flavour, ensuring a dry, harmonious and persistent sip.
