Ruppert-Leroy Papillon Champagne 2022
Papillon is pure Pinot Noir from Ruppert-Leroy's vineyards around Essoyes in the Côte des Bar. Farmed biodynamically and made with the same minimal-intervention philosophy that defines the domaine, it is produced without dosage.
The 2022 is generous but energetic, with ripe peach, blood orange and red-fruited notes wrapped around a creamy, vinous texture. Fine bitters and mineral tension keep the richer Pinot fruit beautifully controlled, leading into a long, savoury finish.
More powerful than Fosse Grely but never heavy, this is a serious Blanc de Noirs built for the table and a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar.
100% Pinot Noir.
