Description
What type of wine it is
Robert Barbichon's Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne is a structured and elegant white wine. Produced in the eponymous French region, this blend combines Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grapes. The profile is fresh and defined, with aromas of magnolia, citrus and pear, revealing itself on the palate as fragrant, with a chalky profile and a distinct acidity. Re-fermentation according to the Traditional Method ensures a complex structure and remarkable ageing potential.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Gye-sur-Seine, a commune located in the heart of the Champagne region, France. The chalky soil plays a decisive role, giving the wine its typical mineral imprint and a well-defined structure. The vineyards are managed by the family through rigorous organic farming practices and biodynamic principles, deeply respecting the authentic identity of the terroir.
How it is produced
The production of this Extra Brut is based on a rigorous eco-sustainable approach that keeps the purity of the fruit intact. After initial vinification, the secondary fermentation takes place through the Traditional Method, a fundamental step to impart tension and finesse. Ageing on the lees gives the wine a remarkable evolutionary capacity, which can reach fifteen years in the cellar. Ideal for serving chilled between 6 and 8 °C, it possesses a driving acidity that creates a perfect technical pairing with starters, fish, shellfish and cheese selections.
History and interesting facts

Guided by their father's teachings and the principles of biodynamics, the producers maintain an artisanal dedication, creating an organic and sustainable wine. Awarded 92 Decanter points and with an ageing potential of up to 15 years, it enhances the prestige of any cellar.
