Hélène Charbaut Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Noirs "Les Pinailleuses" 2022
type: Product
description: Producer: Hélène Charbaut represents the fourth generation of her family's winegrowing estate in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, having assumed responsibility for the domaine in 2020 after studying viticulture and gaining experience with Leclerc Briant and Péhu-Simonet.

Rather than selecting fruit from an individual vineyard, Hélène chooses her favorite Pinot Noir parcels each vintage, allowing the final blend to express both the terroirs of the Grande Vallée and…
