This mono-village Vintage Champagne from Barbonne-Faye in the Côte de Sezanne (you might know this village from Ulysse Collin ‘Les Maillons’) is 100% Pinot Noir. Malolactic fermentation is blocked. Vinification is 80% in stainless steel and 20% in foudre.

It spends 3 years in bottle on lees and is two grams dosage. Wonderful deep red and black fruits come from the glass. This is backed by spice, smokeand nutty complexity. The palate is full, up front, with wonderfully integrated acidity. Champagne for a character and class.
