NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The H. Blin Brut Champagne is a delightful expression of the Vincelles terroir, where Pinot Meunier takes the lead in the blend, offering a refreshing alternative to the more Chardonnay and Pinot Noir-dominated cuvées of the region.On the nose, this Champagne exudes a bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, with a notable presence of crisp apples and pears, complemented by subtle hints of fresh brioche and a delicate touch of white flowers, indicative of the meticulous lees aging that adds complexity and depth.
Upon tasting, the palate is greeted with a vibrant and lively effervescence, a signature of the fine bead that H. Blin is known for. The texture is creamy, yet the wine maintains a beautiful structure and poise, thanks to its well-balanced acidity. The fruit flavors are persistent, echoing the nose with a generous fruitiness, while nuances of citrus zest and a slight minerality come through, providing a clean and refreshing finish.
This Brut Champagne is versatile and can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif, or it can complement a variety of dishes, from delicate seafood appetizers to richer poultry-based courses. It is a testament to the skillful blend of tradition and innovation that H. Blin consistently delivers, making it a delightful addition to any occasion that calls for a toast with something special.
