The making of Pur Oger 2018 Champagne Franck Bonville

The Pur Oger 2018 vintage is composed of Chardonnay, sourced from two iconic parcels located on the Grand Cru terroir of Oger: "Les Noyerots" and "Les Rumigny." These parcels embody the entirety of this exceptional terroir, blending the richness of the chalky soils with an ideal exposure. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, allowing perfect control of alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. This champagne benefits from prolonged aging of over 5 years under cork in the cellars of Franck Bonville. Its Extra Brut dosage (4.2 g/L) offers a subtle balance between freshness and maturity.
