Francoise Martinot (Charles Dufour) "Bistrotage" Champagne Blanc de Noirs NV (B17)Made by Charles Dufour, using vines owned by his mother. Base 2013, disgorged May 2019. Vinous and expressive, this is very exciting to drink. Creamy, salty, and a little butterscotch, with an electric backbone of acid, which is an irresistable combination. Notes from the importer: Base wine is from 2013 harvest, with an addition of 20% Vin de Reserve from 2010 2011. 100% pinot noir harvested from Charles Dufours mothers vineyards in lValle de lArce
