The Champagne de Reyve 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs is simply fantastic. Made from 100% Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Cote de Blancs, this is a wildly complex Champagne that is bursting with crisp golden apple, mango, and lemon curd notes. Hints of brioche and bread dough add depth with a gorgeous hint of toast. This is a mouth-filling bubbly with the perfect crunchy spine of chalk and mineral that makes for a delicious true Champagne! Wonderfully pure and creamy, this wine brings a powerfully expressive personality.
Champagne De Reyve is the flagship label of Union Champagne, an Avize-Based “new-generation” cooperative on a meteoric rise to stardom. Historically, most of the company’s wine has been sold to the region’s iconic houses to be blended into their top luxury brands, a practice which still accounts for a sizable proportion of Union Champagne’s business. As far as cooperatives go this is without question the wealthiest of its kind in the world, let alone the wine trade. With a staggering 615 hectares of Grand Cru vineyard land, 615 hectares of Premier Cru vineyard land, and 135 hectares of “mere mortal” unclassified vineyard land, most of the firm’s acreage lies in the sought-after Côte des Blancs zone, where they farm more Grand Cru acreage than all other Champagne houses combined.
