2019 Remi Leroy - Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (750ml)
Price: $115.00
In Mixed Case: $103.50
Two hours south of Reims by car, the Aube has become a transformative region for Champagne. A younger generation of growers are showing just how much finesse can be coaxed from these Kimmeridgian soils, invigorating the region with a new sense of awe with what’s possible in the outer limits of Champagne.
Remi Leroy’s up-and-coming estate is based in Meurville, with a majority of his vines in that same village. His 9.5ha of vines also reach into the neighboring villages of Fontaine and Bergères. Laser-focused on quality, Remi chooses to sell off around half of his fruit each year to négociants in order to leave only the finest fruit for his personal estate.
He began a solera of reserve wine (key to both depth and consistency for any champagne producer across vintages) in 2009. Remi vinifies in a mixture of stainless steel or old barrels purchased from Hubert Lamy or Thomas Pico (of Pattes Loup, in Chablis).
Remi’s vintage Blanc de Blanc from old, massale-selected vines in Meurville. It ferments entirely in oak and has a disarming density, depth, and richness that can feel like a bit like a departure for a wine hailing from Kimmeridgian soils.
