Cheurlin Thomas 'Le Champion' Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut, Champagne, France

It all started in 1788 when a Catholic priest named Cheurlin started making champagne in Champagne, France. Today, the ninth generation of Cheurlins (let's just assume the family line wasn’t continued by his children) has taken over and it looks like the family is just getting started. The Cheurlins have become one of the biggest and most sought-after names in business, acquiring more and more land for their vineyards in the famous Aube region, known for the quality grapes it produces, and they have recently made it in American markets, with a little help from an NBA star Isaiah Thomas. Their Le Champion is an example of excellence: a 100% Pinot Noir Champagne, a grape that provides champagne with strength and unmatched complexity. Few Champagnes are made entirely with this grape and even fewer from grapes from this region. Wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with premature control. The second fermentation is in the bottle with an aging of a minimum of 18 months. The maturity of Champagne presents itself in its color, persistent bubbles, and intense flavor. This Champagne is Extra Brut: with ingredients of this quality, there is no need for extra sugars. Grab your bottle today!
