Robert Barbichon, Champagne Blanc de Noirs, NV

A tiny 4th generation, organically farmed estate from the tiny village of Gye Sur Seine in the Aube. This region is known for its Kimmeridgean limestone, like Chablis, rather than the chalk found up north in the rest of the region. Coupled with slightly warmer temperatures, growers are able to pick perfectly ripe Pinot Noir in nearly every vintage. The temperature and soil types combine to give us more vinous Champagnes, like a white Burgundy, made from Pinot Noir (and a little Meunier), with bubbles. Trust us, they are delicious.
