Franck Bonville

Pur Oger 2015 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Maison Franck Bonville owns numerous plots of land located on the finest terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. In 2012, Olivier Bonville decided to take advantage of this fabulous vintage to isolate his finest vines and create a range of 3 parcel-based cuvées, representing 3 mythical villages classified as Grand Cru: Oger, Avize and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Cuvée Pur Oger 2015, by Franck Bonville, is a Blanc de Blancs blended with Chardonnays from 2 parcels located on the Oger Grand Cru terroir: "Les Noyerots" and "Les Rumigny".

2015 was perfectly in line with the continental trend of the decade, with a mild, wet winter and a hot, dry summer. Thanks to a cool late summer, ripening produced juicy, ripe, concentrated grapes - a spectacular vintage.

Pur Oger 2015 is vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks, with malolactic fermentation. The bottles, corked, have benefited from 5 years' extended aging in the house cellars, and this cuvée is dosed at 5 g/L.

The 2015 vintage gives this blend sweet, pastry-like aromas. An airy lightness evolves from these initial notes, supported by the freshness typical of the Oger terroir. Confectionery aromas and a touch of sour candy add vivacity and accompany a fresh finish with hints of licorice and lemon.

"Telling the story of the uniqueness of our Oger parcels, through the Bonville prism." Olivier Bonville
