Champagne Franck Bonville Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2018
Vintage Character
Franck Bonville Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2018 is a vintage Champagne from the Côte des Blancs, sourced from Grand Cru villages celebrated for Chardonnay of exceptional finesse and mineral drive. The 2018 growing season in Champagne was warm and generous after a wet start, producing ripe, balanced fruit, and this is widely regarded as a strong vintage with both immediate charm and the structure to age. Rooted in the chalk-rich soils of villages such as Avize and Oger, the wine expresses the region’s signature tension, saline precision, and luminous citrus purity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, expect lemon zest, green apple, white peach and white flowers, followed by subtle brioche, almond and a gentle chalk-dust note from lees aging. The palate is brisk yet layered, with a fine mousse, high acidity and a polished texture that carries citrus, orchard fruit and pastry nuances through a long, mineral finish. Its precision and elegance make it a natural partner for oysters with mignonette, Dover sole meunière, or tempura prawns.
Winery Background
Franck Bonville is a family grower based in Avize, with roots dating to 1900 and a long-standing focus on Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Under Olivier Bonville, the estate has emphasized sustainable vineyard work, including HVE-certified holdings, to preserve the clarity of its terroirs. As a récoltant-manipulant, the house vinifies its own fruit and is known for crafting precise Blanc de Blancs Champagnes with extended lees aging, a measured dosage, and a style that balances creamy depth with chalky definition, making it a benchmark name for elegant grower Champagne.
