Why buy it?
This blanc de noir embodies the perfect harmony between pinot noir and the characteristic terroir of the Grand Cru of Verzenay, located 17 kilometers south-east of Reims, which has enjoyed a reputation for centuries linked to the extraordinary quality of the pinot noir grapes grown in its vineyards, covering an area of approximately 500 hectares.

History
The winemaking roots of the Maison Michel Arnould date back to the end of the last century, at that time, the Lefevre family cultivated vines in the Grand Cru lands in Verzenay, but they only worked in the vineyards and limited themselves to selling the grapes to the Champagne Maisons. In 1929 Henri Lefevre decided not to sell his harvest but to vinify it and then bottle it, in fact, after a few years the first bottles of champagne from the Maison were released. In 1960 Francois Lefevre, Henri’s niece, married Michel Arnould, and in the same year the production of Michel Arnould Champagne arrived on the market. To date, the Maison is managed by Patrick, Michel’s son, aided by his wife and son-in-law Thierry.
Grapes used
100% Pinot noir
Production method
It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine essentially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it has in common with the rest of the wines) takes place in steel vats for fermentation, and is also carried out malolactic fermentation; the second, however, takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second process, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles upon uncorking), followed by aging on the yeasts for approximately 24 months and three months of rest after dégorgement.
Alcohol content
12.5%
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with golden hues, enriched by fine and long-lasting bubbles. The scent evokes hints of peach and apricot, accompanied by nuances of crystallized fruit. In the mouth it is enveloping and velvety, with hints of fruit and sweetness of caramel. It ends with a pleasant sensation of freshness.
Possible combinations
Excellent in combination with raw fish, tuna tartare, sushi and fried foods, but also with mortadella and other cured meats or with platters of medium-aged cheeses.
