Maison Bonnard produces a range of exceptional still and sparkling wines from the Bugey, a wild alpine region nestled between Lyon and the Alps. Their 16 hectares of organic vineyards are concentrated in the hamlet of Crept, with an inspiring view over the surrounding landscape. The heart of the domaine is a single 11-hectare vineyard that wraps around the hillside, where the local varieties Mondeuse, Altesse, Chardonnay, and Jacquère are planted at an incredibly steep 40 to 70% slope. This vineyard is supplemented with a few smaller vineyards of Chardonnay cultivated lower in the village or on the surrounding hillsides.

This fresh and fruit-driven sparkling wine comes from steep hillside vineyards rooted in clay-limestone soils. All vineyard and cellar work are done in coherence with nature, so as to let the land speak through each bottle produced. Montagnieu Brut is the perfect apéritif wine and is perfect for serving before (or even throughout) a large meal.
