Maison Bonnard

In the heart of the Bugey region, a vineyard nestled between Savoie, Jura and the Rhône Valley, lies the small village of Crept. Here, the rugged beauty of the landscape reveals a contrasting relief that offers breathtaking views.

Most of the wines produced here are Montagnieu pétillant, but special attention is also paid to Roussette and Mondeuse, traditional grape varieties of the hillside. Other cuvées complete the range: Gamay, Pinot, Chardonnay.

The vines are planted on the steep slopes of Montagnieu, with gradients ranging from 30% to 70%. Over the years, the Bonnard winemakers have succeeded in unearthing the terroirs that enable them to create the wines they love.

Focus on: biodynamics

The domaine has always worked with good farming sense, and from vintage to vintage, biodynamic viticulture became an obvious choice. The aim is to respect and reveal the authenticity of the terroirs as well as the health of the growers.

The vineyards are cared for using plant decoctions, vegetable sprays and the position of the moon.

In keeping with the work carried out in the vineyard, the Bonnard family vinifies and ages their wines by letting nature take its course. The aim is to offer healthy wines, with no inputs other than a minimal amount of sulfur at bottling.

A natural approach that defines Domaine Bonnard wines in three words: healthy, magnetic, alpine.
