The Franck Bonville “Unisson” Blanc de Blancs Brut is aged longer than their regular Blanc de Blancs bottling, so that the current release of this wine is from the base year of 2017 and includes nearly fifty percent reserve wines from the previous harvest. Olivier Bonville used fruit entirely from his vineyards in Avize for this bottling. The wine was disgorged in March of 2023 and finished with a dosage of 6.7 grams per liter. The wine offers up a beautifully refined bouquet of pear, golden delicious apple, brioche, hazelnut, chalky minerality, a touch of white lily and gentle smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with fine depth at the core, good soil undertow, elegant mousse and a long, well balanced and wide open finish. This is really drinking splendidly and is a fine bottle.
