Based on the 2020 vintage with some vins de réserve from 2021, Bonville's NV Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs displays a delicate, floral bouquet of spring blossoms, blanched almonds and lemon oil. Moderately weighted, round and elegant, it's beautifully citrusy on the mid-palate with a pure, clean and crystalline texture that segues into a long, mouthwatering finish. With a dosage of 4.2 grams per liter, this 100% Chardonnay is derived from vines planted in Avize, Oger and Cramant.

This house in the commune of Avize (Côte des Blancs) produces bright, fresh and finely crafted Champagnes that truly impressed me. Olivier Bonville, who took over the family estate in 1996, has an exceptional ability to express the unique character of each commune and terroir, a testament to his meticulous work in the vineyard and the cellar. A strong advocate of aging Champagnes under cork for several years before release, Olivier ensures that the house’s Champagnes are always marked by their finesse, purity and tension, displaying elegance and refinement.

With his son-in-law, Ferdinand Ruelle, Olivier Bonville founded a separate lineup from purchased grapes: Odyssée 319.
