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 great celebrations, it is also a region unlike any other in the world, in northeast France. With its limestone slopes and a climate cooler than any other French wine region, it gives wines of inimitable finesse.
The three signature grapes (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay) thrive here despite the harsh climate, thanks to chalky soils that return warmth and minerality. Skilfully blended, they create the most famous of all sparkling wines: Champagne AOC, a symbol of elegance and craft.
