This Wine: A natural Champagne made from Pinot Noir (blanc de noir) which shows a hint of plum and strawberry fruit followed by an amazing mineral finish. Precise and pure. One of the most age-worthy cuvées from Ruppert-Leroy.

Notes on the Winemaker: Bénédicte Leroy and her partner took over her father's biodynamic farm vineyards in 2010 which are  and make exquisite biodynamic Champagne from different plots with different grape varieties. The farm embodies an ecosystem complete with fauna and flora.
