Bright and deep gold. Fine persistent (for a demi-sec) bubbles. Toasty brioche on the nose. Echoed on the full palate with lemon drop, candied orange peel, and jut a shade of ash. Bright acidity, of course, enhanced by the bubbles and tamping down the demi-sec sweetness a bit. Blanc de blancs lets the purity of Champagne shine through and Bonville is a king of blanc de blancs. An excellent demi-sec that will pair wonderfully with most meals and all celebrations. We’re having Beyond Sausage pizza. Drink it when you buy it.

A Demi-Sec, Medium lemon with stone & tropical fruit aromas, biscuit notes, tiny bubbles with a light mousse. On the palate, this 100% Chardonnay, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, shows ripe fruits, pear, mango and apple, light with underlining sweetness. Medium finish, crisp, ending with yeasty tones. Nice if you like your bubbly with a touch of sweetness. Grab this sweet for your Sweetie on Valentines Day.
