Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Bonnaire known for?
Bonnaire is best known for crafting high-quality grower Champagnes, with a particular emphasis on Blanc de Blancs. Their wines are made predominantly from Chardonnay grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, especially around Cramant. Bonnaire’s Champagnes are noted for their freshness, chalky minerality, and elegant texture. They produce a variety of cuvées, including non-vintage and vintage expressions, often with extended lees ageing to develop complexity and depth. The house style favours purity and finesse over heavy dosage or oak influence, allowing the natural acidity and structure of Chardonnay to shine through. These wines are often described as refined, precise, and food-friendly, appealing to those who appreciate traditional méthode champenoise paired with terroir expression. Bonnaire’s commitment to quality, from vineyard practices to meticulous winemaking, has positioned it among the respected grower-producers in the region.

Where are Bonnaire wines made?
Bonnaire wines are made in Cramant, a Grand Cru village located in the Côte des Blancs sub-region of Champagne, France. This area is renowned for its exceptional Chardonnay, grown in chalky soils that contribute to the region's signature mineral-driven style. Cramant’s cool climate and hillside vineyards provide the perfect conditions for slow ripening, preserving natural acidity and aromatic delicacy in the fruit. As a récoltant-manipulant (RM), Bonnaire cultivates and vinifies its own grapes, maintaining full control over every step of production. The winery combines traditional Champagne methods—such as hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and extended lees ageing—with a minimal-intervention philosophy that allows the unique terroir to express itself clearly. The result is a portfolio of Champagnes that are crisp, refined, and true to their origin in one of Champagne’s most prestigious crus.

Are Bonnaire wines affordable?
Bonnaire wines occupy the premium grower-Champagne category, yet they are often considered excellent value within that segment. While not priced at entry-level, they remain more accessible than many big-name houses—especially when considering the quality of vineyard sourcing and artisanal production. The wines come from Grand Cru vineyards, and the house’s attention to detail—from sustainable viticulture to long lees ageing—adds to the overall production cost. However, wine professionals and Champagne enthusiasts alike often view Bonnaire as a smart choice for those seeking elegance and terroir expression without the markup of more commercial brands. The range includes more approachable non-vintage options as well as aged, vintage cuvées for collectors. In summary, Bonnaire offers a compelling balance between price and quality, particularly for those who value authenticity and character in their Champagne.
