FEATURES
The Franck Bonville Unisson Blanc de Blancs Champagne is a refined and elegant non-vintage Champagne, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, particularly Avize and Oger. The "Unisson" label signifies a harmonious blend of the best Chardonnay plots, aiming for a more complex and mineral-dominated character than their flagship bottling. This cuvée embodies Maison Franck Bonville's multi-vintage blending philosophy, combining the richness of reserve wines aged in oak vats and demi-muids with the distinctive chalky terroir. It undergoes extended aging on its lees for a minimum of 24 months, often four to five years, contributing to its creamy texture and depth. 【Known for its purity and finesse, expressing the true essence of Chardonnay with a focus on freshness, minerality, and crispness】. Tasting notes reveal a pale golden color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is vibrant and fresh, with aromas of citrus fruits like lemon zest, green apple, and pear, alongside subtle notes of white flowers, brioche, hazelnut, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with vibrant acidity, complemented by minerality and a creamy texture. The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, apple, and a touch of almond. Some describe it as full-bodied, focused, and complex, with good soil undertow and an elegant mousse.
🍴 This Champagne is an excellent companion to a wide variety of dishes, pairing beautifully with seafood such as lobster, oysters, scallops, and delicate fish like Dover sole or halibut. Its crisp acidity also complements goat cheese, sushi, grilled vegetables, and even light desserts like lemon sorbet or fruit-based pastries.
🥂 Perfect as an aperitif, for refined tasting moments, or with a gourmet meal. It's also an ideal choice for celebrations and special occasions.
