franck bonville millesime 2006 collection privée (degorgement 2019)
Reference: 9323Stock: 22 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"this discreet house began with the purchase of a few acres of vines on the côte des blancs in champagne by alfred bonville, a simple winegrower, at the beginning of the 20th century. then in 1936, he bought a house in avize, with a press and tuns, which allowed his son to produce the first bottles under his own name: franck bonville. the estate is not huge, but still counts 15 hectares, spread over 77 parcels in the terroirs of avize, oger and mesnil le roi, classified as grand cru, where the best chardonnay grapes are grown. then came gilles, the grandson, who modernised and perfected the house production before handing over to olivier, the fourth generation, who now carries on the family tradition. his goal? to orientate the estate towards a reasoned culture of the vineyard. goodbye insecticides and weed killers! respect for the environment has become a priority on a par with the quality of the champagne. quality, here we go! here we are not satisfied with just having beautiful terroirs. the work produced upstream is impressive, both in terms of the use of soils, harvests, the use of barrels of meursault, bottling for 5 years before disgorging, perfect dosages in order to obtain high class, very balanced vintages with marked identities. in the great vintages, bonville sets aside a few bottles in order to offer them a prolonged period in the cellars and then propose them in its private collection. this 2006 vintage was made from chardonnay from the grand cru terroir of avize. it is a cuvée with a slightly amber colour and fine bubbles. on the nose, it is a very expressive, very precise champagne. one notes aromas of ripe yellow fruits (mirabelle plum) evolving very quickly on candied and dried fruits. a touch of vinosity´ is added to this flattering nose. on the palate, the exceptional richness of the year 2006 is not long in coming. the notes of candied orange give way to the side´ undergrowth and mushroom. the minty, fresh and mineral finish confirms the beautiful evolution of this vintage."
