Vintage Character The 2020 vintage in Champagne was marked by a warm, sunny growing season, leading to wines with notable ripeness, clarity, and vibrant structure. Champagne Remi Leroy Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grown on the limestone-rich soils of Meurville in the Côte des Bar, exemplifies the region’s expressive style. This Extra Brut cuvée opens with aromas of ripe orchard fruits, red apple, and subtle brioche, complemented by hints of wild strawberry and crushed chalk.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is dry and precise, featuring a fine, energetic mousse, flavors of white peach, raspberry, and a touch of spice, all underscored by a taut mineral backbone and lively acidity. The long, refreshing finish lingers with notes of citrus zest and saline minerality. Exceptionally versatile at the table, it pairs beautifully with seared scallops, creamy mushroom risotto, or aged Comté cheese, and for a distinctive touch, also complements delicate Cantonese steamed prawn dumplings.
