Champagne Simon Rion - Réserve

A stone's throw from Reims, in the village of Courmas, Simon Rion has been making champagne his own way since 2007. Fourth generation, 2.15 hectares, and an approach that revolves entirely around the soil: worked mechanically, without chemical fertiliser, with respect for the old vines his father and grandfather planted.

The Réserve is the older brother of the Originel. The same blend (50% Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay) and the same vin perpétuel principle, but with a base wine from 2012 and more than eight years of ageing on the lees. What you get in return is a champagne that reveals brioche, hazelnut and dried yellow fruit, with a velvety texture. Dosage of 6 grams per litre, Extra Brut. A bottle for those who love complexity and take their time over the glass.
