alt="Henri Wine Cellar, Champagne Barbichon"

Introduction

Although located in the Muscadet region, Domaine de L’Épinay grow the vines for the sparkling wines in loamy clay soils rather than granite and gravel largely found in Muscadet. The aim is to produce a pronounced fruity expression of the various grapes from the Loire region.

This lively sparkling white wine is a wonderful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Being the minor grapes of the region, these varietals are widely used in blending the sparklers that aged briefly on the yeast lees.
