Part of the Pur Terroir series, 2015 Pur Mesnil expresses the terroir of the hallowed Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil sur Oger. Chardonnay grapes from 3 plots are chosen to provide a balance of the characteristics produced by different soil types with more or less concentration of chalk. The cuvée is tiraged under natural cork sealed with a staple and then hand disgorged.Update

What to Expect

The movement starts off light floral, vegetal, and vanilla perfumes that awake our senses. An intense freshness, typical of Le Mesnil’s wines, carries this champagne. A rich, coated, and smooth mouth feel. A gourmet but delicate wine that unveils its shimmering side, without being aggressive, for a frank and dynamic balance.

About the House

As demand for the greatest Côtes des Blancs grand crus continues to spiral, the privilege of substantial, well-placed holdings cannot be overstated. Gilles and Ingrid Bonville and their son Olivier are in command of 20 glorious hectares of prime grand cru turf, largely in Avize, with old vines on the slope of Oger and a little in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant. Tended and vinified with precision, their polished blanc de blancs contrast the tension and brilliance of Avize with the generosity and exoticism of Oger. Olivier Bonville is the Fourth generation of vine-growers. Tyson Stelzer.
