Product Info
The Minière F&R Les Moineaux Blanc de Blancs 2016 750ml stands as a testament to the artistry of small-batch, grower Champagne production. Hailing from the prestigious village of Hermonville in the heart of France's northern Champagne region, this distinguished vintage cuvée represents the pinnacle of traditional winemaking craftsmanship. Composed entirely of Chardonnay from venerable old vines, this elegant expression showcases the profound complexity that emerges when fruit of exceptional character meets meticulous cellar work. The wine undergoes oak vinification, a technique that imparts subtle richness and textural depth, while extended aging on the lees develops the nuanced minerality and brioche-like complexity that define truly exceptional Champagne. Every bottle captures the essence of its singular terroir, revealing layers of citrus, stone fruit, and delicate floral notes with a refined, persistent finish. This is Champagne for the discerning palate—a wine that rewards contemplation and celebrates the philosophy that great sparkling wine begins in the vineyard and is perfected through patience and tradition.

Aroma: An expressive nose featuring bright lemon zest, crisp green apple, and tart citrus, layered with subtle woody spices, flinty chalk, and toasted brioche.Palate: Bone-dry, lean, and tart with intense, driving acidity. The oak aging rounds out the edges to offer a structured, medium-to-full-bodied feel balancing rich chalky texture with citrus pith and lemon sherbet.Finish: Long, razor-sharp, and searingly mineral with persistent dry chalkiness.
