Single vineyard "Les Belles Voyes" in the famous Grand Cru hillside of Oger. Pale lemon with fine creamy mousse and tiny rapid bubble flow, long lees aging. aromas stone fruits and blossom, bread dough and citrus. On the palate flavors of golden apple, peach, lemon citrus and honeysuckle with biscuit toast and nutty notes. Long finish, full-body ending with biscuit, mineral and citrus character. Outstanding!

Jun 9th, 2021Best BdeB I tasted, made from less than 2 acres Belles Voyes vineyard in Oger, vines planted in 1920’s, juice aged in old casks pre-bottling. Compare to those $350 boutique bottles! Showing 100-year old vine complexity, nice aromatics fine bubbles, tantalizing mousse, intense bouquet of ripe fruit. Creamy flavor of white flesh fruits, apple & pear, chalky mineral qualities, lemons with underlying sweetness. Elegant, well balanced, bright acidity, minerality, long tangy finish! Enjoy Valentine Day!

A perfect bottle of Belle Voyes from a couple shipments back. Lush Chardonnay fruit and toast. Plus, a perfect day at Fort Baker, under blue skies and the Golden Gate.

What a bottle, showed a little melon flavor on top of the classic bdb flavors. Of course in full bottle format.

The new Belles Voyes is all 2009 and has no dosage at all. Freshly landed, this bottle shows more oak than it did when I tasted it in Avize. This did not detract from the experience- in fact, it made this large scale wine more Puligny like without waiting it down. This is the longest finishing no dosage Champagne I have ever tasted, with pure grand cru chalk lighting up the finish!

Mar 26th, 2016From several shipments ago. Aging into textural, rich, Grand Cru Chardonnay. Still one of the best Champagnes money can buy. Bonville continues to be a top notch grower-producer that all Champagne fans have to try.
