Champagne Rémi Leroy Blanc de Noirs Réserve 2018

Côte des Bar, Champagne, FranceRemi Leroy farms 3 of his family's 9 ha in the Aube's Meurville, selling the remaining fruit for additional income, with the goal to use all of the fruit for his non-interventionist label. The only inputs he uses is a small addition of sulphur. This BdN Réserve is entirely pinot noir, native fermented with full MLF, and vinified in stainless. This was disgorged in winter 2021, and was dosed with 1 g/L. Pouring as a light rosé hue, perhaps thanks to the generously sunny 2018, and a few hours skin contact, this Réserve tasted like rosé, with an abundance of fresh raspberry, cherry across a streaming palate, with a buzzy limestone underlay and siding leading to a meringue finish. Bright and fresh, with arrow precision, this is a lovely solo sipper or accompaniment to canapés and proteins.Tasted: 14 February 2023Tasted by: Prices:
