The Champagne Franck Bonville Millésime 2016 is a hallmark cuvée of the Franck Bonville house, specialized in Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagnes. Made only in exceptional vintages, it comes from proprietary vineyards in Avize Grand Cru, a prestigious terroir for Chardonnay. The 2016 vintage exhibited a balanced climate with a rainy spring and a warm summer, allowing excellent ripening of the grapes. After fermentation in stainless steel and complete malolactic fermentation, the wine aged for over six years on its lees, gaining great complexity without losing the characteristic purity of Avize. Aromas of white peach, apricot, brioche, and lemon cream are perceived on the nose, while on the palate its elegance and chalky minerality stand out, with a long, persistent finish that reflects the identity of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.
