Champagne Simon Rion - Blanc 2 Noirs 2022

A stone's throw from Reims, in the village of Courmas, Simon Rion has been making champagne his own way since 2007. Fourth generation, a little over two hectares, and an approach that revolves entirely around the soil: worked mechanically, without artificial fertiliser, with respect for the old vines that his father and grandfather planted.

The counterpart to the Blanc de Blancs: only black grapes, but pressed white. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from 2022, a sunnier year than the 2021. Where the 2021 relies above all on tension, this one is rounder and more generous, and already delicious to drink now.
