2016 Bonnet-Ponson Paul Gadiot" Precurseur 2016 Milesime Extra Brut Premier Cru Champagne

A rare expression from the Montagne de Reims that whispers of soil and sunshine. From the vineyards tended by the Ponson family, this 2016 Vintage Premier Cru Extra Brut carries a poised energy and nuanced personality. It’s not merely champagne—it's an invitation to slow down and savor precision in every bubble. Long lees ageing gifts this wine a subtle depth without losing its verve.

Nose: Bright citrus peel and orchard blossoms shimmer with almond husk and a trace of brioche, leading to a compelling freshness. The bouquet feels alive—airy yet grounded in minerality.

Palate: Silky mousse gives way to juicy white peach, lemon pith, and a whisper of tart orchard fruit. Mid-palate richness balances creamy texture with vibrant acidity and finely etched minerality.

Finish: Clean, lingering, and refreshing—crisp mineral tension underpins a faint echo of hazelnut toast and citrus zest that keeps you reaching for another sip.

Pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass dressed in lemon, shaved parmesan on fresh artichokes, or creamy triple-cream cheeses. Its electric acidity also lifts richer hors d’oeuvres.
