Tasting Notes
The Franck Bonville Cuvée Les Belles Voyes 2016 is a rare, old‑vine Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from Oger—one of Champagne’s most distinguished terroirs. Sourced from the estate’s historic plot planted in 1960, this cuvée opens with elegant aromas of honeysuckle, acacia and white orchard fruit. A gentle evolution adds texture, creaminess and a refined richness, all wrapped around a vivid mineral spine that speaks to Oger’s chalky soils.
Fermented and aged in oak barrels, the wine shows depth and structure without losing its freshness. The result is a precise, long‑finishing Champagne that rewards attentive sipping and thoughtful pairings.

About the Producer
Champagne Franck Bonville, based in Avize, is celebrated for terroir‑driven Blanc de Blancs exclusively from Grand Cru sites. Les Belles Voyes is the estate’s oldest and most symbolic parcel—planted in 1960 on the mid‑slope of Oger, above the famed villages that also supply houses like Delamotte and Krug. The domaine’s dedication to oak fermentation and careful élevage elevates the wine’s texture and longevity, producing some of the most refined, mineral‑charged expressions of Côte des Blancs.
Food Pairing
Perfect with lobster, Hokkaido scallops, creamy poultry, caviar, or aged Comté. Also a sublime, meditative Champagne to savour on its own, especially when you want depth and nuance over exuberant fruit.
