More About Champagne Bonnaire Cramant 2016

A classic Blanc de Blancs from the heart of Cramant in the Côte des Blancs, where the Bonnaire family has long been known for producing some of the region’s most elegant Chardonnay-led Champagnes. Sourced from Grand Cru vineyards on pure chalk soils, the 2016 vintage was vinified in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation and aged extensively on lees before release, with a low extra-brut dosage (~2.5 g/L).

Refined and expressive, it shows citrus, green apple and delicate stone fruit, alongside subtle pastry and creamy notes from ageing. The palate is both precise and textured, combining fine mousse with bright acidity and a signature chalky, saline finish that lingers.

Meet the Producer, Bonnaire

Bonnaire

Style: Winery

Champagne Bonnaire is one of those grower Champagne houses that quietly reminds you why tiny family producers are often infinitely more exciting than giant luxury brands spending half their budget on celebrity adverts and yacht photography. Based in Cramant in the Côte des Blancs, Bonnaire has been producing Champagne since the 1930s, focusing heavily on Chardonnay from some of the region’s greatest chalky vineyard sites. Which, in Champagne terms, is a bit like casually owning beachfront property in Monaco.

The style here is all about elegance, precision and minerality rather than massive richness or flashy winemaking tricks. Cramant is famous for producing some of Champagne’s most refined Chardonnay, giving wines loaded with citrus, white flowers, brioche and that lovely chalky freshness that makes great Blanc de Blancs feel almost electric to drink. Bonnaire captures that beautifully. The wines feel detailed and complex without ever becoming heavy or showy.

What makes Bonnaire especially appealing is how rooted everything remains in traditional grower Champagne philosophy. These are wines made by people who actually farm the vineyards themselves rather than enormous négociant houses buying fruit from hundreds of growers across the region. That connection to individual sites gives the wines a real sense of identity and place, something increasingly rare once marketing departments start getting involved.

Champagne can sometimes drift dangerously close to luxury branding cosplay, but Bonnaire keeps things refreshingly grounded. The wines are sophisticated, absolutely, but they still fundamentally feel built around drinking pleasure rather than status signalling. Crisp, chalky, quietly classy stuff that tends to disappear from the bottle far quicker than intended.
