Franck Bonville 'Unisson' Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne NVAs with their flagship Blanc de Blancs, Bonvilles Grand Cru cuve Unisson (unison) can vary from year to year in vineyard sources, reserve wines, and dosage levels, but their aim here is a more complex and mineral dominated character than the flagshipa profile enhanced by spending more time on the lees before disgorgement.

The vines were planted in 1966 and another section in 1986
