Crafted exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay in Avize, this refined Blanc de Blancs blends the freshness of 2018 with the balance of reserve wines from 2017. Elegant and mineral-driven, it reveals aromas of lemon curd, white flowers, chamomile, and toasted almonds, layered with subtle stone fruit and creamy pastry notes. Fine, pinpoint bubbles and vibrant acidity bring precision and length, finishing with a bright, chalky lift.

A mineral style focused on elegance with a lot of chalky, buttery aromas, lemon curd, lemon pulp and peel. Medium-bodied and smooth due to fine bubbles, it shines with zesty integrated acidity, a touch of stone-fruit flavors and very good length. Drink or hold.

Based on 2018 vintage and complemented with some vins de réserve from 2017, the NV Unisson Grand Cru is showing well today, evoking aromas of white fruits, flowers, chamomile and almonds. Medium-bodied, round and vinous, with a juicy core of fruit and a pinpoint mousse, it's long and delicate with bright acids and a fresh, ethereal finish. Dosage: five grams per liter.

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.

Fruit from Avize. 100% Chardonnay. Blend of 2017 and 2018. The 2017 was cool and rainy, 2018 was sunny but produced a huge crop so the wines could be a bit dilute, so they balance each other out in the blend. Stainless-steel fermentation. Disgorged March 2023. Dosage 5 g/l.
A little richer than the Blanc de Blancs NV but meticulous, thanks to the pinpoint precision of the acidity. Baked apples and pears enveloped in cream and a frame stitched with liquorice thread, green cardamom and a hint of melba toast. Long, sweet-lime finish. Vibrant. Full of heart.
