Champagne Les Belles Voyes Grand Cru 2015 - Franck Bonville
Champagne Winemaker - Direct from Maison Bonville - Certified HVE (organic)
95/100 Parker
Disgorged in April 2023 with a dosage of five grams per liter, the 2015 Les Belles Voyes Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs comes from the estate’s oldest Chardonnay vines in Oger. It opens with a deep, smoky bouquet, revealing layers of lemon oil, ripe orchard fruit, white flowers, and buttery pastry, all wrapped in a subtle reductive touch that adds tension and complexity.
On the palate, this Champagne is both mineral and vinous, medium to full-bodied with a mouthwatering, chalky texture and a phenolic structure that gives depth and persistence. The finish is long, saline, and driven by the terroir’s chalk. Scoring 95/100 Parker, it’s a precise and age-worthy Blanc de Blancs that will evolve gracefully over the next five to eight years, combining elegance, energy, and gastronomic potential.
The Les Belles Voyes Grand Cru cuvée from Maison Franck Bonville comes from a single terroir, "Les Belles Voyes," a Grand Cru hillside in Oger, planted exclusively with Chardonnay. It benefits from meticulous vinification, including aging in oak barrels and a very moderate dosage, resulting in a pure, elegant expression that is highly representative of its chalky soil.
On the nose, this cuvée expresses a beautiful aromatic finesse: white flowers, delicate brioche, honeyed notes, and a hint of vanilla from the oak. On the palate, it combines breadth and tension: a full texture, a fine minerality, sometimes a touch of iodine or menthol, and a long finish. This Champagne stands out as a gastronomic wine, perfect for refined dishes (poultry breast, smoked fish, seafood) or for a special celebration.
