Sixth generation winemaker Cyril Bonnet's family has been making champagne in the village of Chamery since 1862. He farms 50 plots spread over 3 premier cru villages and one Grand Cru.
The health of the soil is the most important part of vine-growing at Bonnet-Ponson. This is why pesticides and herbicides are never used and all solutions used in the vineyards are organic and used as sparingly as possible. All of this leads to healthier soils and better grapes by result. The diversity of plants, animals, insects and organisms help bolster the plants own natural defenses. Allowing for particularly low amount of excess anything in the vines. The balance in the vineyards lead to balance in the glass.
The rich layers of flavor and texture that envelop your senses upon each sip further encourage such reflection. It is not waxing poetic to say that these feelings are almost forced upon you when sipping from your glass. It is a champagne that evokes feelings, that conjures the past, that makes you happy to be where you are drinking it.
