Champagne Noël Bazin

Champagne, France

Philosophy

Predominantly Chardonnay blanc de blancs from limestone-rich southeastern slopes. Textural, mineral-driven wines of citrus and chalk character, vinified in stainless steel and wood with respect for traditional Champagne methods.

Reputation

Noël and Magali Bazin, native to Villers-Marmery in the Perle Blanche zone of the Montagne de Reims, established their estate in 1988 and released their first vintage in 1999. Their three hectares, worked across twenty-five parcels, occupy the distinctive terroir of southeastern-facing limestone slopes that echo, in soil composition and exposure, the celebrated Chardonnay-producing Côte des Blancs to the south.
