Bonnaire

The Bonnaire house was founded in 1932 on one of the finest crus of the Champagne, the village of Cramant north of the Côte des blancs. 

A family-run, independent firm specializing in Champagnes Blanc de blancs whose great finesse helped build its reputation, today it reigns over a 22-hectare vineyard classified as Grand Cru.

What is the history of the Maison de Bonnaire?

It was in 1932 that Fernand Bouquement founded his own house of Champagne. In the aftermath of the SecWorld War II, he was joined by his son-in-law André Bonnaire, who proved to be particularly passionate about vine growing and paid a great deal of attention to it. His son Jean-Louis took over and made Maison Bonnaire one of the most renowned in the Côte des blancs region. A particularly talented winemaker, he spent the last years of his life sharing his passion with his two sons, Jean-Etienne and Jean-Emmanuel, who today represent the fourth generation. Faithful to their father's memory and philosophy, they continue to produce chiseled Champagnes of great freshness and energy.

La Maison Bonnaire: exceptional expertise

To date, the Bonnaire family is one of the largest owners of vineyards classified as Grand Cru in the village of Cramant, with 22 hectares planted mainly with Chardonnay, as well as Pinot Noir... See more ...

Description Bonnaire Cramant Blanc de Blancs 2016.

An exceptional champagne, reflecting a prestigious terroir

Made from a rigorous selection of the finest plots in Cramant, ideally located halfway up the hillside, this champagne embodies all the power and elegance of this exceptional terroir. The Blanc de Blancs 2016 (100% Chardonnay) is an emblematic cuvée of the estate, the result of a unique vintage and demanding expertise.

On the terroir of Cramant (Grand Cru) – A village located north of the Côte des Blancs, famous for its wines combining aromatic power and minerality. The selected plots, Les Terres des Buissons, Le Bateau, Les Bionnes, Les Bourons, Les Longues Verges, and Les Gouttes d'Or, offer complementary exposures on limestone soils, guaranteeing a fine and complex expression of the terroir.

  • Vinification: Exclusively in stainless steel vats, preserving the purity and freshness of the fruit
  • Aging: Minimum 7 years on fine lees, bringing a subtle patina and aromas of great depth
  • Dosage: 2.5 g/L – Extra-Brut, for an authentic and balanced expression

2016 Vintage
The harvest, carried out at the end of September, was characterized by slow ripening and high acidity, offering a perfect balance between freshness and aging potential. This vintage reveals all the complexity of Cramant Chardonnay, with an elegant structure and distinctive minerality.

On tasting, this champagne seduces with its slightly buttery notes, candied fruit aromas, and citrus zest. The attack on the palate is straightforward and precise, evolving into a rich and creamy texture, before ending with a salty and persistent finish, the emblematic signature of the great wines of Cramant.

A champagne for aging, to be enjoyed today or kept for special occasions.

Think outside the box with a bold pairing: gnocchi with sage butter and roasted hazelnut pieces, sea bass ceviche with pomegranate and yuzu, or fresh goat cheese rolled in citrus zest.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
