Champagne Franck Bonville Extra Brut Grand Cru 2015
$135.00
This cuvée is based on the exceptional 2015 vintage; it has been ageing for more than 7 years in the Franck Bonville cellars and does not need any dosage. The Chardonnay is full and reflects the freshness, the minerality and all the characteristics of the chalky soil.
Avize Grand Cru
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
"Seeking for complexity and balance guides us through crafting our cuvée Extra Brut. The unique personality of vintage 2015 wines has been worked by the long ageing in cellars and allows us to reduce the added sugar that disappears behind the wine.
Senses awaken and the wine prevails. Warm aromas of maturity (liquorice, wax, port wine, fennel) reveal an outstanding complexity, as well as a slow and controlled evolution. The wine is backed by a fresh and minty frame that brings a lot of elegancy and length.
A great Champagne wine that highlights with character the terroir of Avize. It has been crafted for gastronomy… or to be shared by the aperitif where our Blanc de Blancs are always a good choice."
Olivier Bonville
Food Match
Due to its minerality and extra-brut style this wine is best enjoyed as an aperitif but will also pair beautifully with oysters or lobster.
