Franck Bonville Pur Oger 2018 comes from 2 plots located in Oger: Les Rumigny and Les Noyerots. The terroir of Oger, Grand Cru, is made up of a part nestled in the hollow of a valley between Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where the "Les Rumigny" plot is located, and a part at the bottom of the hills on the Noyerots plateau. It is the duality of this terroir that the House wanted to highlight. A generous and complex champagne.
