DESCRIPTION
This smooth blend (cuvée) honors Maxime Blin’s grand-father, Robert, the “optimist” winemaker who took the risk of planting Pinot Noir in the sandy soil dedicated to Pinot Meunier. Combining 80% of his favorite red grapes with 20% of Chardonnay this champagne ages 36 months in the bottle. Its lingering earthy finish will pair very well with oysters and shellfish.
REGION
Champagne
France
Champagne is not only the wine of grand celebrations, it is also a unique region in the world, located in the northeast of France. With its limestone hillsides and a cooler climate than any other French wine region, it gives rise to wines of unmatched finesse.
The three emblematic grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay) flourish here despite the harsh climate, thanks to chalky soils that retain both warmth and minerality. Artfully blended, they create the most famous of sparkling wines: Champagne AOC, a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.

Lots of charm, with clear fruit and a lovely softness. Very accessible.
