The making of Les Belles Voyes 2016 Champagne Franck Bonville

Les Belles Voyes 2016 is made from Chardonnay, sourced from the historic plot "Les Belles Voyes" located mid-slope on the Grand Cru terroir of Oger. Planted in 1960, this 0.8-hectare plot offers grapes of consistent maturity. The juices are pressed separately and fermented in oak barrels, adding woody notes and great aromatic complexity. After vinification in Burgundian pieces, this vintage benefits from over 5 years of aging in the cellar. The Extra-Brut dosage, at only 2.5 g/L, preserves the purity and authenticity of the Oger terroir.

The 2016 vintage

The 2016 vintage in Champagne was marked by contrasting climatic conditions. After a wet spring, the hot and dry summer favored slow and homogeneous ripening of the grapes. In Oger, the Les Belles Voyes plot benefited from an ideal balance between sunshine and nighttime coolness, ensuring healthy and aroma-rich grapes. This vintage is distinguished by wines of great aromatic intensity and remarkable aging potential.
