Bonnet-Ponson began in 1862 with Grégoire Bonnet, one of the first grower-producers in Chaméry, a
beautiful village set in a bowl-shaped hillside covered with vines. Grégoire was succeeded by Jules Bonnet,
who expanded the vineyards and constructed the current cellar, after a WWII bomb destroyed the original
caves. His son André Bonnet joined at 14, plowing the vines with his two horses. Later, André married
Monique Ponson, also from a winemaking family, and the two created the modern version of the House:
Bonnet-Ponson. Together, André and Monique expanded their vineyards to 9 hectares across three
villages: Chaméry, Vrigny and Coulommes la Montagne. By the time their son, Thierry, had joined the
Domaine, they were producing 70,000 bottles per year, with every step of the process taking place
in-house. Thierry increased the Bonnet-Ponson holdings by another hectare, and in 2013, he welcomed
his son Cyril into the fold. At this time, father and son began the conversion to organic farming. Today,
Cyril is certified organic and uses natural vinification methods in the cellar.
