Wine information
The Jules Bonnet is a Champagne from 100 % Pinot Noir. The fruit comes from four parcels of the terroir of Verzenay, classified as Grand Cruas well as two parcels from the terroirs of Chamery, classified as Premier Cru. The average age of the Sélection massale is 55 years. The vines are rooted in gravelly and calcareous sands on a limestone subsoil. The base wine from the Cœur de Cuvée was fermented spontaneously and aged for nine months in barriques. A biological acid reduction took place. The wine was not filtered and only slightly sulphurised, resulting in a total sulphur of under 35 mg/l. The bottles were disgorged in 10/2022 and received three grams of dosage.
Color
Copper coloured with fine perlage
Nose
The Jules Bonnet Premier Cru is an elegantly scented Champagne with notes of ripe lemons and kumquats, apple tart and candied ginger, some sponge cake and red as well as black berries. It appears vinous and at the same time fresh and clear with everything that a Champagne in fragrance should offer.
Palate
This impression continues on the palate. It is a Champagne with a lot of liveliness and complexity. At the same time, it comes across as pure and punchy with such crystal-clear acidity, as if someone had freshly squeezed a lemon and added it to this melange of ripe stone and stone fruit, spices, yeast dough and dried orange wedges. Besides the pressure, a slightly creamy texture and a tingling minerality show.
