Millesime, 2019

Champagne from one year, 2019, grown by Rémi Leroy in the far south of the region and kept three years in bottle on its yeast before release.

Rémi Leroy farms the family vines around Meurville, in the Côte des Bar, the Aube end of Champagne, working organically without certification. The soils are Kimmeridgian and Portlandian, old marl and limestone. His 2019 vintage wines spent 36 months on lees, the spent yeast that gives Champagne its bready depth, and his grapes ripen well enough that he keeps the dosage, the sugar added at the end, very low. Dry and firm, with ripe fruit.
