The vineyards are located in the true south of Champagne in the Cote de Bar and are meticulously governed by cult winemaker Bertrand Gautherot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGautherot, first and foremost makes a wine, the bubbles being incidental to what he is trying to achieve which is a wine that offers a sense of place. Almost all of the cuvees he produces are single vineyard (with the exception of Fidele) and single vintage. The wines have absolutely no dosage and are made at a lower bar of pressure resulting in finer bubbles and powerful vinous cuvees. Gautherots’ vineyards have been certified biodynamic since 1998 and his low yield, high intensity fruit translates to powerful wines that command food. Gautherot who was inspired by Jacques Selosse is one of the true legends of Champagne.

They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels!

They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region.

Beautiful notes of vanilla nougat, brioche and subtle spice abound, while upholding the lemon, apple and grapefruit purity of Avize Chardonnay. It concludes with beautifully creamy texture that melds eloquently with the fine salt minerality of the village.

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.
