franck bonville pur mesnil 2016 (degorgement mai 2023)
Reference: 16318Stock: 48 (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 pure avize champagne, and what's more, it is vintage champagne, which is cellared for a minimum of 6 years. the grape variety used is exclusively chardonnay, giving this champagne a very flowery side of acacia flowers, wild strawberries and white-fleshed fruit flowers. the finish is slightly mango. champagne at any time of the day with smoked fish canapés or even fish grilled a la plancha flavoured with espelette chilli. serve at 10 to 12°c." franck bonville’s 2016 pur mesnil grand cru blanc de blancs is showing brilliantly, with aromas of crushed stones, orchard fruits, almonds, baked bread and pastry, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and rich palate with a long, ethereal and gourmand finish enhanced by a beautiful bitterness and mineral aftertaste.
