Lovely, but nothing really stands out.

Aug 27th, 2024Purity. Clarity. Freshness.
A strikingly pretty clear straw color in the glass with intense perlage. The nose opens seductively with aromas of tropical fruits and lemons. Sweet pastries and pears accentuate. There’s a bit of soft vanilla here as well, for good measure.
Pur Oger. Pur Chardonnay. Plenty of tension and character. Appropriately terroir driven and complex, even at this youthful stage. The acidity is electric without being overpowering. Approachable and inviting, there’s a serenity to this wine.
Round and gorgeous on the attack. Very nice minerality and balance here. Very clean and precise in the mouth. Notes of vanilla brioche, grapefruit, and yellow apples. Beautifully pure chalk and wet limestone for days. The finish is long and saline. This is drinking very well right now but give it a few years and it’ll be a showstopper.

One of Franck Bonville’s three village wines, this Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) comes from the vineyards Les Noyerots and Les Rumigny in the village of Oger, southsoutheast of Épernay, in the Côte des Blancs. Expressive nose with notes of tropical fruit, lemon, brioche, vanilla cake. Full-bodied, round and complex on the palate. Mineral and savory. Citrus flavors.
