Bonnaire Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Terroirs Grand Cru NV

93 points Claude Kolm (Fine Wine Review): "Bonnaire is located in the village of Cramant on the Côte de Blancs. Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, it has long been a favorite of mine. Floral, stony, haunting nose. Stony in mouth, fairly full-bodied, deep and pure, with tension. Zero dosage, undergoes malolactic fermentation, base wine is from 2016, 100% Chardonnay. (11/15/22)"

92 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2024 in Australia; 100% chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly and Oiry; 2019 base vintage with 2018 reserves; fermented and aged on fine lees in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; full malolactic fermentation; aged at least 3 years on lees in bottle; disgorged May 2023; 4g/L dosage - all on back label; cork). The three northernmost grand crus of the Côte des Blancs unite confidently in the hands of Bonnaire to make for a non-vintage that carries the confidence of lauded terroirs and impressive fruit. The brightness of 2019 is well married to the succulent ripeness of 2018 reserves in layers of white peach and grapefruit, even edging in to exoticism reminiscent of star fruit and kiwi, true to warm and ripe harvests. There's a touch of lime, too, unexpected yet in no way underripe or off-putting. Three years lees age has contributed a creamy texture and crème pâtissière complexity. Grand cru saline chalk minerality unites with nicely defined acidity to trace a long and refreshing finish. (2024)"

91 points Falstaff: "Bright gold in colour with silvery reflections. Delicate aromas of woodruff, white flowers, peach and citrus zest on the nose, with a light yeasty touch. There's zesty mousse on the palate and plenty of juicy acidity, creating a very elegant, chalky texture with a creamy finish. An animating salinity on the finish brings appealing length. (10/4/24)"
