Remi Leroy, Blanc de Noirs Reserve Extra Brut Champagne 2022

After graduating from Bordeaux with a masters in Oenology and Viticulture in 2006, Rémi Leroy returned home to Meurville to produce exceptional wines from his family holdings in this corner of Champagne.  Leroy’s wines are expressive and a perfect introduction to the landscape of the Aube. His 9.5 hectares of holdings are spread over three villages: Meurville, Bergères, and Fontaine, all within a ten-mile stretch. 

Rémi makes wines from only a portion of the vineyards that he farms; a little less than fifty percent of the fruit is sold to NMs, leaving him with the very best parcels. 

This cuvee includes 30% of reserve wines, produced as a solera started in 2009. 80% of the solera is kept in stainless steel, with 20% in barrel. The wines are 70% Pinot Noir, with 20% Chardonnay, and 10% Meunier, reflective of his holdings. “It is the same as my vineyards” he says.
