Producer: Domaine Alexander Bonnet
Description:
Located in the Aube, a French département which in 1927 joined, not without effort, the prestigious Champagne appellation, Domaine Alexandre Bonnet has become a benchmark for its wines from these great terroirs.
With a rich family history in winemaking tracing back to 1934, the estate was established in 1970 by René, Serge and Alain Bonnet. Owner of the Lanson-BCC group since 1998, Alexandre Bonnet has been run since 2019 by Arnaud Fabre who, with a long experience on many wine estates, is passionate about continuing the collective commitment to developing this exceptional terroir.
On the steepest slopes of Champagne at the gateway to Burgundy, the renowned Kimmeridgian limestone contributes its unique aromas to the wines made in the three appellations of Les Riceys. Champagne Alexandre Bonnet produces some of the most highly prised wines in the Côte des Bar.
To Taste: Fine and complex, the nose reveals scents of rhubarb, fruits with white flesh (pear) and yellow flesh (peach), carried by spring notes of acacia and honeysuckle. These floral fragrances mingle with spicy notes of thyme and pepper, combining with a touch of citrus (grapefruit, lemon).
