NV Barnaut Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Brut

100% certified sustainable Pinot Noir from 35 year old vines on the south-facing slopes of the Grande Montagne de Reims, immediately behind the village of Bouzy. Aged in stainless with at least 24 months on the lees. Reserve wine from a solera system maintained by five generations of the Barnaut family. 6g/L dosage. 1,650 cases made. A full-bodied mouthful of delicious Pinot Noir fruit! Richly aromatic, notes of iodine, ocean brine and the whole oyster shell thing. A wine of power yet finesse. Philippe Secondé manages the artisan house of Barnaut in Bouzy, a village long famous for distinctly full-bodied Champagne on the southern flank of the Reims Mountain. In 1874, his forefather Edmond Barnaut was one of the first to break the ranks of the grandes marques to become a récoltant-manipulant. The domaine farms 32 parcels on 28 acres of vines.
