Alain Pailley, cellar master at Champagne Alexandre Bonnet, makes some comments on the harvest 2009.

Historically recognized for its initiatives on “plot by plot” work and for its research based on a better expression of the terroirs and the soils of Riceys, Alexandre Bonnet gained a strong international recognition. Its vines on steep slopes constitute the heart of its estate property in particular those located on the “La Forêt” area with full southern exposure on a kimmeridgian soil. Its pinot noir grapes have the reputation to give structure, roundness and a long finish to delightful wines.
