Bugey La Brive is Bonnard's steel-vinified Chardonnay. Contrary to Les Bonnes, which spends time in oak, this fresh and fruit-driven expression highlights the unique Alpine character of Bugey fruit. All wines at Bonnard are crafted in coherence with nature, both in the vineyard and the cellar. This refreshing wine is perfect for serving with a variety of foods, yet also drinks quite easily on its own.
