Description
Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut, produced by Geoffroy, a historic name in Champagne. 2016 vintage, 12.5% ABV. A Blanc de Noirs that expresses the complexity of Pinot Noir through a fine and persistent perlage. The Geoffroy family's origins date back to the 17th century, in Cumières, in the heart of the Marne Valley. 80% of the vinification takes place in barrels. The nose opens with a complex bouquet featuring aromas of red fruits. Pale yellow in color. The palate is fresh, with flavors of strawberry, redcurrant, and fragrant flowers such as peonies, and a lingering finish. Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany fish dishes.

Pairings
The few acres of vineyards that our ancestors cultivated and handed down from generation to generation provide the link to our champagnes.
At the beginning of the 1950s Roger Geoffroy and his wife Julienne decided to take the plunge into winemaking and produced their first bottles: the Roger Geoffroy brand was born. René Geoffroy, their son, who loved the land, soon succeeded his father. An owner-grower to his soul, he acquired new vines, and with the help of his wife Bernadette, they developed and promoted their brand.
At the end of the 1980s. Jean-Baptiste joined the family estate, perfecting his craft working side by side with his father and his father's cousin Pierrot. In 2008, Jean-Baptiste and his wife Karine decided to relocate both the winemaking and commercial operations of Champagne Geoffoy business to Ay, to a property built in the late 19th century.
