Rémi Leroy Champagne Extra Brut

Rémi Leroy is a winemaker and agronomist engineer who graduated in 2006 and who manages 9 hectares of vineyards in Meurville in the Côte des Bar (Aube), a cru whose particularity is in the small thickness of the overlapping layers of earth, and the presence of particularly poor soils. In these adverse conditions the vine develops its own survival techniques which determine its typicality. In the same way, the work in the vineyard is particularly complex with the aim of reaching harvests with low yields but ripe grapes, capable of expressing the greatest possible aromatic richness and the best contribution of minerality. This accurate work in the vineyard can only be matched by excellent Champagne, a faithful expression of the Chablis terroir.

The Champagne Extra Brut Rémi Leroy is characterized by some fundamental distinctive characteristics, such as the predominance of Pinot Noir which gives maturity to the wine, the aging on the lees with the bâtonnage technique, and the presence of reserve wines. In addition, the moderate yields, the quality of the soil and the waiting for the perfect ripening of the Pinot Noir and Meunier clusters, generate a concentration of coloring molecules on the skins, called anthocyanins, higher than usual which give the wine a naturally tending color. amber. The basic vintage of the grapes present in a prevalent way is well indicated on each label, trying never to standardize the Champagne of different vintages, while making use of “vin de rèserve”.
