Franck Bonville

Franck Bonville is a Champagne domaine located in Avize which is today managed by third-generation winemaker Olivier Bonville. The grapes come from the family’s own Grand Cru vineyards spread over 15 hectares in Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger. The house was founded in 1926, but the family only started bottling wine under their own name after the end of World War II.

The vinification takes place in steel tanks, and all wines undergo malolactic fermentation followed by bottle ageing on the lees for 2½-4 years depending on the cuvée. Dosage is generally between 5-8 grams. Franck Bonville creates a range of smooth, classic and elegant Champagnes with a high degree of fruitiness and minerality.
