Vinification
Made from a single parcel called Les Val Mentra in Neuville-sur-Seine, using only Pinot Blanc. This grape was once common in Champagne but is now quite rare. It gives a fuller, softer style than Chardonnay. Grapes are picked by hand, pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. No sugar added (0 g/L). Certified organic.
Importer's notes
Most Blanc de Blancs Champagnes are made from Chardonnay. This one is made from Pinot Blanc, and it shows. It is rounder and a little creamier, with less of the sharp citrus edge you usually get. We find it works really well with shellfish, white fish, and creamy sauces. One of the most unusual wines in the range and one of our favourites. Serve at 9-10 °C. Certified organic.
