Etienne Sandrin, Champagne Val Champignat Blanc de Noir (2020), NV SO0422_Reductions and preserved fruit unfold inVal Champignat is a single plot expression from a west facing, mid slope vineyard on Upper Kimmeridgian limestone at 232 metres elevation. This 100% Pinot Noir is vinified without fining, filtration or cold storage, and disgorged February 2024 in Brut Nature (zero dosage). The wine delivers black fruit and limestone minerality with a strong, structured palate and precise bubbles. This is terroir driven Champagne that demands proper storage conditions
