Description / Reviews
"The trilogy of Pur Avize, Pur Oger, and Pur Mesnil highlights the unique characteristics of three villages where our vineyards are located. For each village, we selected specific parcels that, in our view, best represent the essence of the cru. This approach reflects our deep understanding of these villages. Through this trilogy, we also aim to showcase the diversity of the Côte des Blancs terroir, which is often underestimated. For the second fermentation and aging on lees, we opted for cork closures to enhance the wine’s expression." - House Notes
This trilogy pack includes:
Pur Avize Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2018 -
Disgorged Nov 2024 (1.7g/L dosage)
Plot selection from the middle of the slope, 'the heart of the terroir'. Areas: Les Avats, Les Chapelles, Les Maladries
"The 2018 Blanc de Blancs Pur Avize rises from the glass with aromas of orange peel, pear and pomelo mingled with brioche. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, muscular and demonstrative, with a rich core of fruit, ripe yet racy acids and a long, saline finish with a phenolic grip. This is a gourmand rendition that underscores the imprint of an extreme, abundant growing season." - Kristaps Karklins, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Pur Mesnil Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2018 -
Disgorged Nov 2024 (5.8g/L dosage)
Selection of plots at the foot of the hillside of the Le Mesnil-sur-Oger terroir. Areas: Les Coullemets, Les Zalieux, Le Tilleul, Les Hautes Mottes.
"The 2018 Blanc de Blancs Pur Mesnil soars from the glass with aromas of lemon oil, lychee and dried flowers. It is followed by a medium- to full-bodied and rich yet vibrant palate that is defined by a generous core of fruit, ripe but lively acids and a persistent finish. This is a broader-shouldered expression of Le Mesnil, but everything here is relative, as this remains the tautest of the three wines in Bonville’s Pur series." - Kristaps Karklins, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Pur Oger Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2018 -
Disgorged Nov 2024 (2.5g/L dosage)
Plots spread across the terroir of Oger. Areas: Les Noyerots (bas de coteau), les Rumigny (milieu de coteau)
"The 2018 Blanc de Blancs Pur Oger emerges from the glass with aromas of orange peel, ripe pear and brioche mingled with quince. It is followed by a medium- to full-bodied and muscular palate, offering a rich core of fruit, succulent yet vibrant acids and an enveloping finish marked by aromatic bitters. Despite its vinification in stainless steel, it is the broadest-shouldered and most powerful of the three wines in the series." - Kristaps Karklins, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
