Description As Anthony Rose wrote: "Champagnes made by local growers are not just affordable, but in many instances superior to the better known big brands" (The Independent). Didier and Karine Chopin are based in the Marne Valley. They bottled their first Champagne in 1989, made from grapes grown on Karine's family's estate. Today they have an estate of their own. This Brut is made from the two black grapes of Champagne, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Five years on lees have lent it considerable richness and complexity. It's a gorgeous drop, and was recently rated in the top 10 Champagnes for Christmas by The Independent, who called it “both fruity and toasty, with light floral aromas.” But don't just save it for Christmas! It's a fabulous celebratory Champagne for all year round.
