What to expect

Spiced apple, cinnamon nose that is both earthy as much as it is fresh. Bright mineral presence coming through with toast, vanilla and fresh ginger. 

Super fresh and beautifully clean palate that is bone dry. What we love about this wine is how its richness starts to evolve with warm toast, pear, quince and almond lifting from the glass. There is an abundance of flavour, purity in it's expression and it just keeps you coming back for more.

 

Technical details:

This is a blend of 45% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay 15% pinot meunier and all of which is sourced from premier cru vineyards. The winemaker Cyril uses 40% reserve wines from perpetual blending which adds layers of rich and decadent flavour. the rest of the wine is sourced from the 2012 harvest.

Organically made.

About the house

About the house

Food suggestion

From father to son since 1862, Champagne Bonnet-Ponson has perpetuated the art of champagne making in the Montagne de Reims region for more than 150 years. The current winemaker, Cyril Bonnet farms the 10.5 hectares organically and only produce champagne from their fruit so they are a Recoltant-manipulant. A key focus of the house is long ageing with their signature wine the 'Extra Brut' being aged for a minimum of 4 years. Their vineyards are located across the Premier Cru sites of Chamery, Vrigny and Coulommes la montagne and the Grand Cru site of Verzenay where they make a 100% vintage Blanc de Noirs named after Cyril's great, great grandfather, Jules Bonnet. The house makes an exciting range of grower champagne with focus on Terroir (vineyard specific) and use low dosage and low use of sulphur, with the most recent release 'Seconde Nature' being a Zero sulphur wine.
