Remy Massin Pinot Blanc 'Special Club' Champagne 2018

Ville-sur-Arce lies in the center of Champagne's Côte des Bar sub-region towards the South. Its more southern location places it closer to the Chablis region than Reims (Champagne's unofficial capital). This proximity explains why Chablis' famous Kimmeridgian soils also underlie the Côte des Bar.  Rémy Massin's sloping vineyards benefit from the limestone, marl-rich soil's ancient seabed debris, lending salinity and extended finishes to their Champagnes. Additionally, Kimmeridgian soil and the cooler climate produce wines with exceptional acidity and, therefore, the ability to age.

Of their 22 hectares, just one is planted with Pinot Blanc. They farm with minimal intervention, having abolished herbicides and pesticides, and they choose to work the land by hand with a team they trust. Winemaking is tailored to each block, and the plot is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the land's and the fruit's characteristics.
