First Impressions
Bonnaire Terroirs Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne arrives at £43.50, and at this price, it needs to offer genuine quality to stand out in a crowded market. 75cl / 12.5% - Bonnaire is run by the forth generation of the family and they work mainly in the village of Cramant. This is made with 100% Chardonnay and has some really lovely.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Bonnaire is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers elegant bouquet of green apple, pear, and toasted hazelnut with a whisper of honeycomb. Moving to the palate, the wine is rich and layered, offering baked apple, hazelnut, and a creamy mousse with a dry mineral core. The finish is extended finish of toasted hazelnut, green apple, and a fine saline note.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
