Franck Bonville

In the early 1900s, Alfred Bonville took the ambitious gamble of buying plots of vines at a time when the Phylloxera crisis had raged just a few years earlier. This bold move paid off, as his son Franck Bonville founded the eponymous Champagne house in the early 1930s, which is still in the hands of his successors today. The Champagnes produced carry a history and are among the most qualitative of the Côte des blancs.

What is the history of Maison Franck Bonville?

In 1937, Alfred Bonville and his son Franck acquired a winegrower's house in the heart of Avize on Côte des blancs in order to make their own Champagne, but it wasn't until the aftermath of the Secsecond world war that Franck began to market the first cuvées under his own name and to expand the Domaine on the Avize terroir. In 1970, their son Gilles and his wife Ingrid joined the family business and modernized the technical tools with more appropriate technology. Their son Olivier, with a degree in oenology and extensive winemaking experience in Corsica and Germany, joined them in 1996, representing the fourth generation. It was also at this time that Gilles decided to manage the vineyard in a sustainable way.

What is the terroir of Maison Franck Bonville?

House Franck Bonville specializes in Cuvées Blanc de blancs en Grand Cru d'Avize, one of the most prestigious terroirs of the Côte de Blancs. The Domaine vineyard is spread over 15 hectares across three villages classified as Grand Cru: Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The grapes are picked at perfect ripeness, reflecting the purest expression of their terroir. Once vinification is complete, the bottles are aged for between 2 1/2 and 6 years in cellars located in underground millstone galleries dating back to the 19th century.

The emblematic cuvées of Maison Franck Bonville

The cuvée Brut Blanc de blancs Grand Cru reflects the DNA of Maison Franck Bonville, it's a Champagne that combines freshness, finesse and elegance. It's perfect as an aperitif or with a seafood platter.

The Unisson Grand Cru delivers a more refined, warmer expression. With fine bubbles, great elegance and an aromatic framework focused on citrus and white flower notes, it will delight the most curious taste buds as an aperitif as well as with refined dishes.

Succumb to the charm of Cuvée Pur Avize 2015 and its notes of flowers, almond paste and white-fleshed fruit. Produced from 3 parcels of Chardonnay from the Avize terroir, this is a noble, creamy Champagne with great freshness, ideal as an aperitif as well as with generous fish dishes.

Description Franck Bonville Pur Oger 2018.

an exceptional Champagne, Franck Bonville's 2018 cuvée Pur Oger is made from Chardonnay from two parcels located in the Grand Cru terroir of Oger: Les Noyerots and Les Rumigny. Thus, from a parcel marked by the influences of the valley and another located on the slopes, this Champagne illustrates the diversity and complexity of the Oger terroir.

To the eye, La robe is bright straw yellow with lovely golden highlights, a sign of its ripeness and quality.

On the nose, Champagne reveals a complex aromatic palette, dominated by notes of fresh lemon and complemented by hints of fruit and bread.

On the palate, the attack is pleasant and lively. Citrus flavors blend harmoniously with mineral and slightly brioche notes, testimony to the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation carried out in temperature-controlled vats. The lingering finish is highly satisfying.

Dosed at 4.2 g/L, Pur Oger 2018 offers sophisticated balance and is an ideal choice for lovers of elegant, complex Champagnes.
