Brut Tradition 'Blanc de Noirs', Michel Guilleminot, Champagne

 This delicious family grower champagne is made in the Aube valley in the far south of the Champagne region by the fourth generation of the Guilleminot family. Our chairman Johnny Wheeler is married to Carine (pictured to the right above) though this champagne is on our list on merit, like all our wines.

'Brut Tradition Blanc de Noirs' is made only from the glorious pinot noir grape and is aged three years on its lees before being released. It eclipses many of the more expensive Grandes Marques and has harvested many positive press comments;

"Grab as much as you can of this glorious, tangy, citrus and fresh brown bread-scented, aged fizz." Jane MacQuitty, The Times

"Fresh, vibrant and fruity, with a delicate mousse and a touch of biscuit and brioche, this mouth-filling, 100 per cent Pinot Noir gives many a Grande Marque a run for its money." Jonathan Ray, The Spectator

How does the wine taste?
100% pinot noir and with three years ageing on the lees, this really is a beautiful, family-made champagne. A persistent fizz dancing on the surface offers fresh orchard-fruit on the nose. The palate is alive with a lovely texture and biscuity character, expertly balanced with a crisp dry finish with lingering brioche notes.

What do the critics say?
"First, the Michel Guilleminot Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne NV, a fabulous fizz from the Vallée de l'Aube. Fresh, vibrant and fruity, with a delicate mousse and a touch of biscuit and brioche, this mouth-filling, 100 per cent Pinot Noir gives many a Grande Marque a run for its money. It certainly beats any supermarket own-label champagne hands down."
