B283 JEROME BLIN CHAMPAGNE LA VAROCE EXTRA BRUT 750ml

Extremely delicate and soft effervescence. The plush, charming fruitiness derived from Meunier (cherry, pear, and apple) is beautifully balanced by the precise acidity and minerality of Chardonnay, creating a well-structured profile. While gentle on the palate with a comforting sense of artisanal warmth, notes of honey and toasted pastry linger in a long, expressive finish, making this a highly compelling Champagne.
