Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Wine Advocate, Champagne Remi Leroy Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 2020 is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grown in the chalky soils of the Côte des Bar, specifically around the village of Meurville. This Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs reveals a precise, mineral-driven bouquet layered with green apple, lemon zest, and delicate white flowers, complemented by a subtle chalky salinity. On the palate, a lively mousse carries flavors of crisp orchard fruit, toasted brioche, and a hint of almond, all framed by racy acidity and a long, elegant finish. The restrained dosage accentuates the wine’s purity and terroir-driven character, making it an excellent match for oysters on the half shell, goat cheese tartlets, or a refined Japanese sashimi platter, showcasing both finesse and versatility at the table.
