As with the Brut-level Millésime bottling, Bonville’s Extra-Brut typically comes from their top holdings in grand cru Avize, and they release it one year later than the Brut to emphasize its complexity. This release, disgorged after seven years on the lees, was given a dosage of 2.5 grams per liter, and while it is no weightier than the Brut, it offers more finesse, deeper salinity, and a greater sense of cling—a profile enhanced by the driving 2014 vintage.
