Champagne Bonnaire
Champagne Bonnaire has been making its own wines since 1932, in the heart of the vineyards of Cramant, a village classified as a Grand Cru in the Côte des Blancs. Founder Fernand Bouquemont was crowned with success from the very first bottling in 1932, winning a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris.

After the Second World War, Fernand Bouquemont was joined by his son-in-law, André Bonnaire. Born into a family of Champagne winegrowers going back several generations, he devoted all his attention to cultivating the vines and developing the vineyard, with the help of his son Jean-Louis.

Today, with a vineyard of over 22 hectares planted mainly with Chardonnay in the Grands Crus of Champagne, the adventure continues. Indeed, after this decisive impetus in modernizing the production tool and contributing to the reputation of the Champagne BonnaireJean-Louis Bonnaire, the company's current President, has a passion for his profession and for the company's development. Today, a new generation is in place with his two sons: Jean-Etienne in charge of production and Jean-Emmanuel in charge of the wine trade. In 2032, we look forward to celebrating the company's centenary. Champagne Bonnaire !

"We love many vintages at Gault & Millau, and this classic, pure and beautifully expressed 2013 is one of them. The nose is beautiful, combining chalky notes and citrus essences. On the palate, the bubbles are subtle and the wine is racy, taut, chalky, without ever becoming austere. Pair with seafood, scallops and noble fish. A very fine Cramant".

"A fresh, airy blanc de blancs, punctuated by notes of citrus, fine white flowers and juicy apple. On the palate, this lemony freshness lingers on mineral tension. An ideal dosage of 7 g/l makes this wine ideal for aperitifs and starters". (Le Guide Des Vins Gault & Millau) The perfect festive pairing: as an aperitif, with oysters or just to celebrate!

"A Classic

"Remarkable entry-level wine. Pure, elegant wine, very fine bubbles, not very sensitive dosage, excellent aperitif." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve) In classic Champenois style, Brut Tradition is a wine with seductively fruity accents. A few spicy notes emerge on the nose, certainly due to the predominantly Pinot blend. The Chardonnay brings finesse and freshness. A beautifully balanced wine!

"More than once highly ranked in the guide, this blanc de blancs was unanimously acclaimed this year. It's made from Chardonnays from the 2008 and 2007 harvests, aged for a year in barrel, then cellared for five years. Its deep yellow color is streaked with fine bubbles. The nose combines candied fruit with toasty and vanilla aromas reflecting a stay in the woods. Brioche enriches this palette on a full, ample and elegant palate. A beautiful apogee".

"Produced from the 2006 and 2005 harvests, this cork-aged blanc de blancs is low dosage, bordering on extra-brut. Highly praised in the last edition, it has been acclaimed again this year. Intense and complex on the nose, it blends butter, brioche, honey, toast and mandarin orange, before revealing a full, buttery palate, taut with a fine acidity that underlines its length".

A mature Champagne, this Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru develops a noble aroma of fresh hazelnut on the nose, and offers finesse without dilution, with an incomparable finish of absolute clarity. A great wine from the Cramant terroir!

"A vintage in its maturity, with a nose of white chocolate, hazelnut, yellow fruit and toast, a prelude to a balanced palate, both full and fresh, with aromas of toast and apricot." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Champagne Bonnaire - Brut Rosé

Beautifully perfumed, the Brut rosé is fresh and fruity, with hints of Pinot Noir. Made mainly from Chardonnay, it is fleshy, full-bodied and tender on the palate. A well-balanced dosage allows this blend to express itself with length and racy character.

Note: Bettane & Desseauve 17/20
"A full-bodied wine, powerful but balanced, low dosage, a highly successful blend, more full-bodied than the blanc de blancs. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2013). The haute couture cuvée from Maison Bonnaire, a blend of the finest parcels of Cramant. A young, fresh and pure wine, the dosage measured for the freest expression of its terroir of origin.
