2016 Rémi Leroy Blanc de Noirs - Champagne, FRANCE. 750ml
An oenologist and agronomist, Remi Leroy was trained in Bordeaux. Along with his father they manage their family vineyards of 8 hectares in Meurville, Côte des Bar. The terroir is exceptional, composed of clay-limestone from the Jurassic period. Their flagship grape is Pinot Noir (72% of their vineyards) which is the star grape in the region, the rest being 20% Chardonnay and 8% Pinot Meunier. Remi and his father and working on replanting Chardonnay to give more diversity to their winemaking. Their wines are simply superb and speak for themselves.
In what was a difficult year Remi has carefully selected the best Pinot Noir for this small cuvee. Five years on lees, disgorged in 2020 with only 2g/l dosage. A perfectly balanced and lithe Champagne with red apples, lime zest and delicate minerality. Unadulterated by oak or excessive dosage. A delightful expression of Pinot Noir.
