Bonville’s 2005 vintage Champagne comes with just that extra degree of complexity than the NV, but like the NV is a great food Champagne - perfect alongside oysters or smoked salmon blinis.

Traditional in style, the 2005 possesses exquisite structure, weight and balance that are the hallmarks of some of the best vineyard sites of the Blanc de Blancs district - the region’s quality heartland. In fact, as testament to the estate’s quality, Bonville used to supply grapes to Bollinger no less!

Rich, complex and long in the mouth. Deliciously fresh mouthfeel with underlying minerality. Nice and mature, this is drinking beautifully right now - a great aperitif wine with the maturity to stand up to more full-flavoured dishes.

"Bonville Champagnes are the epitome of blanc de blancs, showing much more complexity than the mono-terroir wines of smaller growers. A great discovery." Decanter magazine  

"A Blanc de Blancs from some of the best Chardonnay vineyards (Bonville used to sell to Bollinger), this has a beautiful nose, hinting at brioche and apple pastry, with beguiling freshness and a most delicate mousse. On the palate it has piercing apple fruit, underpinned by that broader, nutty base. Deliciously taut and long." thewinegang.com
