Franck Bonville : Les Belles Voyes Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2015

The vivacity and intensity of a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs champagne

The estate

The Champagne Franck Bonville House is a family business that traces its origins back to 1900 with Alfred Bonville, a visionary who acquired plots just a few years after the devastation of phylloxera on the Champagne vineyards.

The House experienced significant growth after 1945 thanks to Franck Bonville, who expanded the size of the vineyard and began marketing the first cuvées under his name.

The third generation, Gilles Bonville and his wife, gradually modernized the winemaking tools from 1970 onwards. After joining his parents in 1996, Olivier Bonville paid increased attention to a vineyard conducted with respect for the environment.

The vineyard

The Belles Voyes Blancs Grand Cru cuvée from Franck Bonville is made from grapes grown on the eponymous plot. Covering an area of 0.80 ares, this historic vineyard was planted in 1960 mid-slope on the heights of the town of Oger, a famous Champagne terroir.

Vinification and aging

This 2015 vintage champagne undergoes separate pressing of the juices followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in Burgundian pieces.

Grape variety

The Belles Voyes Blancs Grand Cru 2015 cuvée from Franck Bonville is a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay.
