2020 "Les Epinettes" Pinot Noir Verzy Grand Cru Adrien Renoir Champagne 0,75l

The 2020 "Les Epinettes" Pinot Noir from Adrien Renoir is a terroir-driven Grand Cru Champagne that shows the precision and elegance of Verzy in the Montagne de Reims. Made from a single vineyard parcel and crafted in a modern, hands-on style, it combines ripe Pinot Noir fruit with chalky finesse and a distinctly saline finish. It reflects both the character of the site and the thoughtful approach of a new generation of grower Champagne producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale gold color with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with red berries, cherry, and bright citrus, layered with brioche, delicate spice, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is precise and structured, with lively acidity, chalk-driven tension, and a creamy, elegant texture. The finish is long, saline, and refined, and while already expressive, it should continue to gain depth and complexity with a few years of cellar aging.

Production
Les Epinettes comes from the Grand Cru village of Verzy in Champagne’s Montagne de Reims, where chalk soils with a thin clay top layer give the Pinot Noir its clarity, tension, and fine structure. The grapes are harvested by hand, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts. Aging takes place mainly in used oak barrels, followed by several years on the lees after the second fermentation to build texture and complexity without overshadowing the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for scallops, roasted turbot, poultry with a light cream sauce, veal, mushroom dishes, or mature hard cheeses. Serve it well chilled at 9–11 °C, and decanting is not recommended.
