Franck Bonville "Unisson" Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne Magnum (1.5L)

Vinous
Review Date: 10/2023The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Unisson Grand Cru is a pure Chardonnay from Avize, blended from the 2016 and 2017 vintages. A most subtle nose allows glimpses of dried corn husk but stays subdued, because it all happens on the beautifully chalky palate. Depth becomes apparent with the first sip of this slender, taut, bright and lithe Champagne that delves and drives deep into chalk, adding slight yeasty autolysis and really fine mousse. Everything about this forsakes overtness in favor of depth, beautifully elegant with alluring, salty, chalky depth. Lovely. Dosage is 6.7gr/L. Disgorged: March, 2023. (AG)

Franck Bonville’s NV Unisson Grand Cru is a Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) derived from grapes planted in the village of Avize. Offering up aromas of pastry, vanilla, lemon oil and spices with hints of butter, it’s medium to full-bodied, round and supple, vinous and tense with a delicate, slightly bitter finish. Based on a blend of 2016 and 2017 vintages, it was disgorged with a dosage of 6.7 grams per liter in March 2023. (YC)

Lemon pie, apple pie. But then marvellous acidity. Like a thousand tiny, tiny cuboids in the mouth. Baked apple, golden fresh apple skin, touch of papaya and papaya seed, crunchy pear. There is both complexity and charm in this full-bodied but well-defined wine, finishing on a note of floral spice. (TC)
