"In 2006, with a wealth of experience in oenology and after ten years at the helm of the family Champagne Franck Bonville house, I wanted to launch new projects alongside Franck Bonville.
I then chose to exploit the infinite richness of the Avize terroir to create vintages typical of Avize, typical of Bonville."

-- Olivier Bonville

The grapes chosen for the wines of Champagne Camille Bonville are harvested and pressed by us, at the family press. They come from the terroir of Avize in its richness and diversity. The musts are vinified by Olivier Bonville in the heart of the village of Avize.

From a selection of Chardonnay from la Côte des Blancs, this cuvée is elaborated with the best grapes coming from our vine grower friends in Avize. The typical characteristics of the wines from the Côte des Blancs are their maturity and fineness. Both can be found in this Champagne, after a long time of ageing in our cellars.
