Thomas Barbichon Blanc de Noir NV

Grape: 97% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Meunier
Country: France
Region: Champagne

Smart, well balanced and precise, like a well tailored suite. Golden tinged, ripe fruit on the palate and a salivating finish. Tidy stuff. 38 Y.O vines on Clay and Limestone (Kimmeridgean), the majority from the 2020 vintage 8% from 2019. 80% in steel with 20% in Barrel. 0 dosage. 

The Barbichon family, now in their fourth generation of Champagne growers, farm just under 9 hectares around Gyé-sur-Seine near Les Riceys, on clay-limestone soils. Since Thomas took over from his father Robert, a more natural philosophy has been instilled. Organic certification in 2007 moving to Demeter certification a few years later. In the cellar they have started incorporating barrels in various parts of the vinification. The wines remain clean and classic with a prominent fruit profile.
