This is a crisp, elegant, and vibrant Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay, offering notes of green apple, citrus, brioche, and a fine, persistent mousse.

how to store at home
Can you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, fill level, capsule)? Are there any precautions, and how should I store it at home?
The label is very damaged (score 0/10) and the fill level is mid-shoulder (score 0/10), which is highly unusual and concerning for a sparkling wine. The capsule is perfect (score 10/10). Due to the very low fill level, this bottle is offered at a very good value for money and should be consumed soon. Store upright in a cool, dark place.

investment value / scores
What are the typical scores for this wine, and does it have investment potential?
Franck Bonville is a respected grower Champagne house, and their Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut is usually well-regarded by critics. However, due to the very low fill level (mid-shoulder), this specific bottle's investment potential is severely compromised. It is best considered for immediate enjoyment rather than cellaring or investment.
