Our organic AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence wines
Quality, authenticity, naturalness and sharing
Passion, another common trait between wine and art for the Le Dorze family.
At Château Bonisson, each Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence has its own identity, represented by different terroirs and the vision of one family. Our knowledge of the soils, thanks to a precise pedological study of the plots, enabled us to refine the match between soils/subsoils and grape varieties very early on.
And beyond the environmental impetus given to this historic estate, which uses organic farming methods and is resolutely focused on quality, authenticity, naturalness and sharing, it was important for the family to instill a new perspective.
This is embodied in the Cuvée B bottle which, beyond expressing the quintessence of the estate’s values through the 3 colors, represents a blend of art and modern aesthetics: the shape of its bottle and the unique design of its label were an immediate statement.
La Petite Causerie for its part, represents sharing. It’s a real tribute to all those artists who, in the last century, came to share a glass of wine and exchange ideas: conversations that were conducive to creativity and gave birth to new, ever more exciting projects.
La Petite Causerie
Organic Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence
Through its second wine, Château Bonisson highlights the fruit of the Provençal vine, traditionally shared in the shade of arbors. But why “La Petite Causerie”? In Old French, the verb “bonnir” means “to chat, to discuss”, which is how Bonnisson got its name, with two “n “s at the time.
This wine of pleasure and conviviality, to be shared with friends, is available in white, rosé and red.
White
Made from a blend of Vermentino and Sauvignon grapes that varies from vintage to vintage, La Petite Causerie Blanc presents delicate citrus and pineapple notes with a fresh, pleasant structure.
Rosé
La Petite Causerie Rosé presents delicate notes of peach and lychee with a tonic, gourmet mouthfeel.
Red
Made from a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that varies according to vintage, La Petite Causerie Rouge is a fresh, well-balanced organic wine with notes of black fruits and spices.
La Cuvée B
Organic Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence
La Cuvée B, for Bonisson, the signature of a great Provence wine that marks a family’s determination to fly the 3 colors of our estate vineyards. Produced from the estate’s finest plots, it represents the best that nature has to offer in each vintage. The magic of blending gives it that extra touch of soul each year, revealing the purity, intensity and ageing potential that only great wines can offer.
