Remi Leroy Champagne Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir 2019

Rémi Leroy Champagne Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir 2019 is a characterful grower Champagne crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, offering depth, precision, and a sense of place in every sip. Sourced from select parcels in the southern reaches of Champagne, it captures the richness of the 2019 vintage while maintaining the house’s hallmark freshness and finesse. This is a serious Blanc de Noirs that balances power with elegance, ideal for both collectors and adventurous Champagne lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne shows a luminous pale gold color with subtle copper highlights and a fine, persistent bead of bubbles. The nose opens with ripe orchard fruits—think baked apple and yellow plum—layered with wild strawberry, citrus zest, and hints of white flowers, brioche, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is structured and full of energy, with the natural intensity of Pinot Noir driving the flavor. Red apple, pear, and lemon curd are lifted by notes of fresh pastry, hazelnut, and a whisper of spice. The texture is creamy yet taut, carried by vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish that speaks clearly of its Champagne origins. 2019 has given this Blanc de Noirs a generous core of fruit, but the wine remains precise and focused, with the potential to develop further complexity over the next 5–8 years if cellared correctly.

Production
Rémi Leroy works primarily in the Côte des Bar in southern Champagne, where the Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils give Pinot Noir both body and tension. The vineyards are farmed with great attention to balance and biodiversity, favoring careful canopy management and moderate yields to preserve concentration and freshness. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and sorted in the vineyard to ensure only healthy, perfectly mature fruit is used. In the cellar, Leroy’s approach is deliberately minimalist: gentle pressing, controlled fermentations (often with a combination of stainless steel and neutral vessels), and extended aging on the lees to build texture and complexity without masking the purity of the fruit. The resulting Blanc de Noirs is a precise expression of Pinot Noir and terroir, rather than heavy cellar work.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined yet flavorful dishes: think tuna tartare, salmon sashimi, roasted guinea fowl, poultry in cream sauce, or a simple roast chicken with herbs. It also stands up well to charcuterie, aged Comté, or a mushroom risotto, where its structure and fine bubbles cut through richness. Serve well chilled, ideally at 8–10°C (46–50°F), to highlight its freshness and detailed aromatics. A brief 15–20 minutes in a decanter or simply in the glass as it warms slightly can help the wine open up and reveal its deeper Pinot Noir nuances.

Producer
Rémi Leroy is part of the new generation of grower-producers redefining Champagne from the vineyard up. Based in the village of Meurville in the Côte des Bar, his family has long cultivated vines, but it is Rémi’s training as an oenologist and his exacting vineyard work that have brought the domaine to wider attention. Focusing on estate-grown fruit and low-intervention winemaking, he crafts Champagnes that are gastronomic, terroir-driven, and often remarkably ageworthy. In a region where large houses dominate, Rémi Leroy has become a respected name among Champagne insiders for his precise, textural wines that showcase the full potential of Pinot Noir in the south of the appellation.
