Since 1862 the family Bonnet has been crafting champagne in Chamery, with Grégoire Bonnet as one the first recoltant manipulants (grower producer) of the village. His grandson was in charge of ploughing the family vines with his two horses at the age of 14. In the year 1956, André Bonnet met Monique Ponson, herself being from a winegrower’s family of Vrigny, another village of the Montagne de reims. With their union, André and Monique started the domaine Champagne Bonnet-Ponson, growing few plots of Meunier and Pinot noir in Chamery, Vrigny and Coulommes la Montagne.

With a history of almost 160 years of producing Champagne in the region, the house is now run by Thierry Bonnet and his son Cyril - who joined the domaine in 2013, after working as a red wine maker in the southwest of France. With over 50 parcels farmed organic since 2013, and certified in 2016, this makes them a rarity in Champagne. With a minuscule production of around 70,000 bottles per year, and with Cyril joining the team representing the new guard. This can be seen as a testament of change in their true zero-zero cuvée - Seconde Nature. They now make wines with minimal intervention and lower dosage, a further expression of the purity that can derive from honest made Champagne.
