Grand Cru Blanc des Blancs Brut NV 92WA Franck Bonville Avize, Cotes des Blancs $54.99 on 6+(code 6saves3)$57.99 reg 92 pts Wine AdvocateDisgorged in March 2023 with a dosage of 8.3 grams per liter, the NV Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs from Franck Bonville is showing brilliantly, with aromas of lemon oil, almond, butter, spring flowers and crisp orchard fruits. It is tauter than the Unisson counterpart with a medium to full-bodied palate, crystalline and lively texture and a slightly smoky, ethereal, long finish. Crafted from vines planted in Avize and Oger, it’s a blend of 2019 and 2020 vintages.Our Tasting Note: (2023 disgorge) Medium star bright gold. A frothy mousse, good bubble persistence. Chalk and fruit nose, some light florals and very light toast. White fruits: green apples, pears, then citrus with sweet lemons, chalky, mineral, direct and linear, finessed edges, excellent complexity and a very pleasurable intro wine. 100% chardonnay 70% from the 2020 harvest and
