What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Jean Louis Bonniare and his son Jean Louis are rather fortunate to be one of<br/>the major land-owners in the Grand Cru village of Cramant, with an impressive<br/>17 hectares to their name in this pretty Côte des Blancs enclave just<br/>south of Epernay. Cramant is famous for elegant Chardonnay-based Champagnes;<br/>indeed, before it was banned ( la trahison des clercs) the slightly less<br/>pressurised , as it were, Crémant de Cramant was, beyond the pleasing<br/>assonance of its name, one of the most elegant styles of all Champagnes.
<br/>
<br/>The read more...essence of the style remains however, and the 2004 from Bonniare captures<br/>it perfectly; hawthorn, acacia and mirabelle plum on the nose lead to an<br/>finely-honed palate where steel-sharp acidity is tempered by the plush of high<br/>quality fruit and an autolytic legacy from three and a half years on the lees.    (hide)
