Champagne Robert Thoumy Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru 2020

Terroir

The fruit for this Champagne comes from Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, where Pinot Noir thrives on chalk and marl soils. The combination of mineral-rich subsoils and excellent drainage gives the grapes both intensity and freshness. The gentle slopes and cool climate create fruit that is ripe yet lively, producing wines with depth, spice and fine structure.

Producer

As a small grower estate, Robert Thoumy takes a traditional approach, farming by hand and keeping yields low for concentration. The Blanc de Noirs is aged for 51 months on its lees, allowing time for texture and complexity to build while retaining vibrant fruit.

Wine

This 100% Pinot Noir Champagne is generous and expressive, offering aromas of red berries, baked apple, brioche and a hint of spice. The palate is full and silky, with rich fruit balanced by tension and a long, savoury finish. It is a wine of both warmth and precision. Best enjoyed from now through 2029 while its fruit and structure remain in perfect balance.

Vintage

This is a single-vintage Champagne from the 2020 harvest, which offers a focused expression of the year's exceptional ripeness and balance. Its exclusivity is defined by the extremely limited production, with only 390 bottles produced.

Pairing

Wonderful with roast duck, grilled salmon, creamy risotto or aged cheeses.
