🏰 Romain Henin's L'Etang de Nos Souvenirs is a captivating Grower Champagne, embodying a philosophy of cleaner viticulture. Romain Henin, who took over his family estate in 2021, began his own project in 2015, converting his vineyards to organic and Demeter-certified biodynamic practices. This Extra Brut (0 g/L dosage) cuvée is crafted with a natural approach, often involving spontaneous fermentation and aging in a combination of stainless steel and old oak barrels, prioritizing freshness and finesse. The label itself is a work of art by French artist Arnaud Tartier. This Champagne typically presents a pale gold color with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with delicate white flowers and freshly sliced pear, subtly layered with brioche and warm croissant from careful lees contact, all underpinned by a cool vein of chalk and crushed flint that provides focus. On the palate, it is precise and beautifully balanced, with a delicate and creamy mousse carrying flavors of citrus zest, green apple, and a whisper of minerality. Some expressions may also show elegant oxidative notes, apple, quince, and honeysuckle, with a very dry yet well-balanced profile. 🍴 L'Etang de Nos Souvenirs is an excellent companion to fresh oysters or clams on the half shell, grilled langoustines with a light herb butter, or lightly dressed white asparagus with a soft-poached egg. It also pairs wonderfully with young, soft goat's cheese like Crottin de Chavignol, and general shellfish. 🥂 This elegant and versatile Champagne is perfect for aperitifs, celebrations, or as a refined accompaniment to seafood and delicate dishes. Its purity and terroir expression make it a delightful choice for those who appreciate artisanal Champagne. 【Grower Champagne crafted with organic and biodynamic practices, showcasing purity and terroir expression with zero dosage】
