Champagne Renard Barnier, Cuvee Speciale Blanc de Noirs

This small family run Champagne house just south of Epernay produces a wonderful blanc de noirs blend, with an equal balance of Champagne’s two black grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. These two grapes combine their characteristics of weight, and ability to age, with a softer fruit style. Apart from careful winemaking the secret here is the wine is aged for at least 3 years before release which allows the cuvée to develop its fresh lightly biscuit aroma and fully flavoured palate.
