franck bonville odyssée 319 avize le levant grand cru blend 2014 degor 21
Reference: 101213Stock: 12 (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. it is a champagne blend of wines harvested from a few pieces of vines all located in avize, classified grand cru and facing the levant and named as a nod to their exposure. this cuvée is a blanc de blancs made from the finest parcels of vines and harvested exclusively in 2014, a vintage and a cru that seduces both by its roundness and its complexity. a great wine for laying down for years to come. this is a single-vintage champagne, 2014, and almost plot by plot. the colour is golden with some greenish hues. on the nose as well as on the palate, rich aromas of white flesh fruits such as peach, nectarine or pear. there are also notes of white flowers such as spring hawthorn. the finish melts gently into saline and smooth notes. food and wine pairings: as an aperitif, served at 10-12°c, but not below that temperature so as not to dull the exceptional aromas and flavours of this exceptional champagne; it goes very well with oysters from marennes oléron or belon from the emerald coast in brittany. perfect with caviar canapés or tapenade made from black olives from provence. an unforgettable moment with sushi or salmon in foil flavoured with dill and echiré butter. bottles to be kept in a cellar away from light and noise with a hygrometric degree of about 70%."
