About the house  As demand for the greatest Côtes des Blancs grand crus continues to spiral, the privilege of substantial, well-placed holdings cannot be overstated. Gilles and Ingrid Bonville and their son Olivier are in command of 20 glorious hectares of prime grand cru turf, largely in Avize, with old vines on the slope of Oger and a little in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant. Tended and vinified with precision, their polished blanc de blancs contrast the tension and brilliance of Avize with the generosity and exoticism of Oger. Olivier Bonville is the Fourth generation of vine-growers. Tyson Stelzer.

 

Journalist Review The second wine of the house after Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut is conceived in the cuverie after fermentation, from tanks that show the greatest maturity. It's a cuvée of exuberant complexity that rejoices in the multi-layered panoply of flavours and textures that build with lees age. Beautiful notes of vanilla nougat, brioche and subtle spice abound, while upholding the lemon, apple and grapefruit purity of Avize Chardonnay. It concludes with beautifully creamy texture that melds eloquently with the fine salt minerality of the village. A cuvée of polish and precision, representing a delightfully enticing expression of this great cru | 94 Points, The Champagne Guide 2020-21, Tyson Stelzer
