The production of the 2018 Pur Oger champagne by Franck Bonville
The 2018 Pur Oger cuvée is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on two iconic plots located in the Grand Cru d'Oger terroir: "Les Noyerots" and "Les Rumigny." These plots embody the entirety of this exceptional terroir, combining rich limestone soils with ideal exposure. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, allowing perfect control of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. This champagne benefits from extended aging of more than five years under cork in the cellars of Franck Bonville. Its Extra Brut dosage (4.2 g/L) offers a subtle balance between freshness and maturity.
