The making of Pur Avize 2018 Champagne Franck Bonville

The Pur Avize 2018 vintage is made exclusively from Chardonnay from three iconic parcels located in the heart of the Grand Cru terroir of Avize: "Les Avats," "Les Maladries," and "Les Chapelles." These parcels, which surround the village, embody all the richness and minerality of Avize's chalky soils. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, allowing perfect control of alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. Aged for over 5 years under cork in the cellars of Franck Bonville, this champagne benefits from a precise dosage of 3.3 g/L, highlighting its subtle balance between freshness and complexity.
