Franck Bonville

At the beginning of the 20th century Alfred Bonville was buying plots of vineyards that had been destroyed by the phylloxera a few years earlier. Crazy or visionary, the Bonville family has been specializing in Champagne Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru in Avize for four generations.

The domaine owns 15 hectares of vineyards divided into 77 plots within three classified Grand Crus: Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger. The main is Chardonnay.

A high degree of ripeness of the grapes and healthy vine material are a matter of course, long time (while an aging of at least 72 months is necessary for Cuvée Prestige and Vintage Cuvée) of yeast storage in the in-house chalk cellars and going through the malolactic fermentation give the wines creaminess, finesse and elegance.
