Blanc de noirs Champagne from 100% Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar, fermented in barrel and bottled without dosage; the 2022 release is vinous, red‑fruited and mineral.
The vines for this brilliant blanc de noir champagne are planted in the lieu-dit of Vouette, on a Kimmeridgian limestone slope facing due south. It offers a rich gold colour, typical of low yielding pinot noir and given a little time in the glass, served ideally at 12°C, it evolves constantly, revealing flavours layer after layer. This is the Champagne that turned me on to Champagne and made me realise just why this region is so special. Rich, prolonged and so elegant. WOW!
