Champagne Nominé Renard Brut Blanc de Noirs NV
Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, FranceBased in Villevenard (Vallé de la Marne), the Nominé family's vineyards extend over 20 hectares, spread over the slopes of Petit Morin, Sézannais, and the Marne valley. The diversity gives 3rd generation Simon Nominé lots to work with in his blends. This BdN comes from 2 plots, one in Villevenard (60% pinot noir) and one in Charly sur Marne (40% pinot meunier), and from vines 20-45 years. It's primarily 2014, with 10% reserve wines, and it spent 3 years on lees before disgorge with 9.5 g/L. There is lovely sharp and detailed black fruit here, herbal edged, over a chalky lees base, finishing with a chiselled, saline finish.
