Cramant is renowned for it's elegance and fine expression of the Côte des Blancs terroir. With age though, the Champagne from this village really comes into its own, delivering beautiful buttery, toffee'd notes that blend seamlessly with the classic crisp chalky profile. We were fortunate to receive a very limited number of these, now 20 year old(!), cuvées from Bonnaire. Pick one up for a special occasion while you can!
House Profile
The house was founded in 1932 and is now run by the fourth generation, Jean-Etienne and Jean-Emmanuel, who work with a large chunk of vineyards mainly in the brilliant village of Cramant. They also have vines in Chouilly, Oiry, Bergeres les Vertus and Cuis. They are HVE certified and use malolactic throughout their wines and some oak in Cuvée Variance. Their wines show a wonderful creamy side to the village; round, opulent and moreish with a nicely poised zesty edge.
