Champagne Brut 'Nos Moments Carte Blanche' Maxime Blin

The Champagne Brut 'Nos Moments Carte Blanche' by Récoltant Manipulant Maxime Blin is a Blanc de Noirs capable of combining grace and substance, creating a fascinating blend. The estate's origins date back to the immediate post-World War II period, when Juliette and Robert Blin planted the first vines in the neighbourhood of Trigny, a village in the Montagne de Reims. The business was then expanded by the second generation, represented by Gilles, who with the help of his wife Madeleine raised the quality of production and perfected the commercial strategy. Since 2015, it has been Maxime Blin and his wife Claire who have been nurturing the family tradition, strengthened by an innovative vision but rooted in tradition.

Champagne Maxime Blin 'Nos Moments Carte Blanche' Brut is made from a blend of Meunier (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) grapes from the Trigny area, cultivated in accordance with the principles of certified organic farming. The vines are rooted on sandy, clay-limestone soils with a southern and south-eastern exposure. Following the harvest, the grapes are vinified in white by means of soft pressing with a Coquard press and subsequent alcoholic fermentation of the must in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After complete malolactic fermentation and an appropriate short period of maturation, 30% vins de réserve is added to the vintage wine. This is followed by mousse in the bottle according to the Champenoise method, combined with approximately 36 months resting on the lees before dégorgement and subsequent dosage as Extra Brut, with 4 g/l residual sugar.

The Champagne 'Nos Moments Carte Blanche' Brut from the Maxime Blin cellar is a luminous straw yellow colour with a fine, persistent bubble. On the nose, sensations of red and white fruits alternate with nuances of aromatic herbs and flowers. In the mouth it is dynamic and balanced, fresh and tasty, with a long persistence.
