Champagne Blanc de Blancs Champagne Alexandre Bonnet

Straight from the Côte des Bar in the southern Champagne, this is pure Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone slopes by a house that has been farming its own vines in Les Riceys for generations. Everything is organic-minded, picked by hand and pressed gently, then vinified with real care to keep the fruit bright and the bubbles fine. You get citrus zest, white peach and a touch of toasted brioche, with a chalky freshness that keeps you coming back for another sip. Serve it chilled as an aperitif, or alongside oysters, goat's cheese or a simple roast chicken. Elegant, lively and seriously easy to love.
