Franck Bonville's Unisson Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is a refined and elegant Champagne, made entirely from Chardonnay grapes sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, specifically Avize. The "Unisson" label signifies a harmonious blend of the finest Chardonnay plots, aiming for a more complex and mineral-dominated character than their flagship Blanc de Blancs. This non-vintage Champagne is typically based on a blend of recent harvests and reserve wines, with current releases often incorporating vintages like 2016 and 2017. It undergoes fermentation primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, with a small percentage in oak for added complexity, and is aged on its lees for a minimum of 24 months, often nearly five years, contributing to its creamy texture and depth. 【The Unisson cuvée embodies the excellence of the Avize terroirs, offering a mineral, saline expression with notes of preserved lemon and white flowers, showcasing rare complexity and elegance.】 Tasting notes describe a pale golden color with a fine and persistent mousse. The nose is vibrant and fresh, with aromas of citrus fruits like lemon zest, green apple, and pear, alongside subtle notes of white flowers and a hint of brioche from extended aging. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with vibrant acidity balancing fruitiness, complemented by minerality reflecting the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs. A creamy texture adds roundness, leading to a long, clean, and refreshing finish with lingering notes of citrus, apple, and a touch of almond. Food pairing suggestions include a wide variety of dishes such as seafood (lobster, oysters, scallops), delicate fish dishes (Dover sole, halibut), goat cheese, sushi, grilled vegetables, or light desserts like lemon sorbet or fruit-based pastries. It is also an excellent aperitif wine. This Champagne is perfect for celebrations, aperitifs, or as an accompaniment to fine dining. It can be enjoyed upon release or aged gracefully for 3 to 5 years, developing more complex flavors of toasted brioche and hazelnut while maintaining its vibrant minerality. Serve at 8-10°C; aeration in the glass for a few minutes will reveal its full aromatic complexity.
