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 Blanc de Noirs hails from his oldest plots of Pinot Noir, and is raised in a mix of stainless steel and old barrels. It feels like a revelatory proof of concept of what’s possible with vines here in the Aube, as the wine does not sacrifice mineral salinity in the name of richness of fruit.
