Bonnet-Ponson
His grandparents dug the cellars themselves – with shovel and pickaxe through the sandy soil of Chamery. Today, Cyril Bonnet fills these vaults with champagnes that could hardly be drier: zero to five grams dosage, spontaneous fermentation, minimal sulphur. Champagne Bonnet-Ponson stands for a radical break with the baroque tradition of his father – and for a return to what began in 1862, when Grégoire Bonnet founded one of the region's first Récoltant-Manipulant houses.

More about Bonnet-Ponson
From Baroque to Brut Nature
His father's wines were opulent: high dosage, full body, classic Champagne style. When Cyril returned to Chamery in 2013 after training in the South of France, he turned everything upside down. The conversion to organic viticulture began immediately, with certification following in 2016. But the real transformation happened in the cellar: spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, no filtration, sulphur only in absolutely homeopathic doses. The dosage? Preferably exactly zero. The family estate has existed since 1862, yet under Cyril it is completely reinventing itself. The Montagne de Reims offers ideal conditions for this style.
50 Parcels, Five Villages
The ten or so hectares are spread across around 50 parcels in Chamery, Vrigny, Coulommes-la-Montagne and the Grand Cru sites of Verzenay and Verzy. The vines are between 35 and 80 years old. The focus is on Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay. A third of the base wines mature in old oak barrels, the rest in steel – Cyril seeks precision, not oak notes. Annual production is around 60,000 bottles. Each parcel is vinified separately to preserve its character.
The Eternal Cuvée
The Cuvée Perpétuelle works like an Andalusian solera: vintage after vintage is drawn off and replenished, never completely emptied. The oldest element in the barrel dates from 2004. The result is a Champagne from many vintages that has had time to find itself. Huré Frères in Ludes has been working according to the same principle since 1982 – both houses demonstrate how much complexity emerges when you give wine patience.
Natural Wine with a Sparkling Crown
The Seconde Nature is Cyril's commitment to natural wine: completely without added sulphur, with its own character and rough edges. Those who prefer something more classical should reach for the Jules Bonnet – a tribute to the grandfather who, with Monique Ponson in 1956, gave the house its current name. And for the curious: the Chamery Rouge shows what Pinot Noir from this corner of Champagne can do as a still wine.
