“Pur Oger”, Grand Cru Blanc des Blancs

Bonville’s “Pur Oger,” from plantings in the Les Noyerots and Les Rumigny vineyards, showcases this cru’s generosity and roundness in comparison to the “Pur Mesnil”—a reflection of the richer topsoil to be found here. Like the “Pur Mesnil,” this spends five full years on its lees after alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel. Elegant yet ample, with notes of pit fruits and a classic pastry-like element, it offers spectacular balance and poise on its relatively broad frame.
