Rémi Leroy Champagne Magnum 1.5 L

Rémi Leroy Champagne Magnum is a French sparkling wine from a grower in the Côte des Bar, the southern part of Champagne, in a 1.5 litre bottle. A magnum turns any table into a celebration, and grower Champagne gives you the character of one family's vineyards rather than a house blend.

Tasting notes

The Côte des Bar is Pinot Noir country, and its Champagnes tend to show ripe orchard fruit, red apple and a generous, round mousse, balanced by chalky freshness. Magnums age more slowly than standard bottles, which keeps the wine fresh and fine.

Food pairing

Open it with oysters, a seafood platter (mariscada), fried calamari, roast chicken or a slice of aged Comté.
