Half bottles of Champagne are a terrific thing to have on hand, but nothing suffers worse from poor storage. Our bottles come straight from Bonville in Avize to our air-conditioned warehouse on a refrigerated container — it does not get any fresher! The direct import pricing doesn't hurt either! All of the fruit comes from Bonville's own vineyards in the marvelous grand cru of Avize. It is all Chardonnay blended from three sensational years: 2007, 2006, and 2005. This Champagne has exotic, ripe fruit aromatics and, as the glass warms up, there are also traces of clean clay and earth, just like in a great Chablis. On the palate this Champagne has pure fruit and a wonderful, full texture.
