MAISON BONNARD
AOC BUGEY
A FAMILY STORY
It was in 1988 that the history of wine began at Maison Bonnard. The two brothers, Roland and Frédéric moved with a hectare of vines, in the middle of the activity of polyculture of their parents.
Today, thirty years later, the estate covers 16 hectares, with a new generation settling in ... Romain, Anne-Sophie and Jean-Christophe.
IN THE VINEYARD ...
In the heart of Bugey, vineyard nestled between Savoie, Jura and Rhone Valley, is the small village of Crept. Here, the raw beauty of the landscape reveals a contrasting relief with a breathtaking view.
Over the years we have managed to find terroirs that speak to us and that allow us to create the wines we love.
Our vines are planted on the steep slopes of Montagnieu, ranging from 30 to 70% slope. Calcareous scree for mondeuse and pinot noir. Deep clays for the highness. And clay-limestone composed of pebbles rolled for chardonnay and gamay.
We have always worked with the common sense of the farmer; then from vintage to vintage, biodynamics has become obvious. In order to respect and reveal the authenticity of our terroirs.
IN THE CELLAR...
In coherence with the work carried out in the vineyard, we vinify and raise our wines by leaving nature. In order to offer healthy wines without inputs, except for a small amount of sulfur when bottled.
Our work pattern is rigorously synchronized with the lunar calendar.
By letting nature go, we succeed in obtaining pure wines, wines of character, with a typicity that reflects our soils and our alpine grape varieties.
Three words to describe our wines: healthy, magnetic and balanced.
