Tasting Notes: Never one to be bound by convention, Mercier has broken the mold with its unique Blanc de Noirs. Light and crisp, it diverges from the powerful and heady style of other blanc de noirs. Creamy, intensely fruity and decidedly different, this light-bodied champagne showcases Mercier’s mastery of the assemblage, or blending, of pinot noir and meunier grapes. Blanc de Noirs comprises 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier grapes. The wine spends 2-3 years ageing on its lees and is finished with a dosage of 9g/l. Background Information: Maison Mercier, founded in 1858 by Eugene Mercier at the tender age of twenty, is one of the great champagne names. Thanks to the drive of its visionary founder, Champagne Mercier has become a firm French favourite. Eugene Mercier strove against the odds to purvey champagne of the highest quality to a wide public. Eugene Mercier had a stock answer for inevitable sceptics: “You can laugh, but the day will come when rivers of champagne will flow through Epernay”. Some ten years later Eugene was proved right. By taking part in the great exhibitions of the 19th century and conducting an imaginative advertising campaign, Eugene Mercier aimed to catch the public imagination. Champagne Mercier was to become a fixture at all major social occasions. The founder’s spirit still prevails. The fresh, fruity, intense and spontaneous Mercier vintages fashioned by Christophe Bonnefond, Chef de Cave for the House, reflect this authentic, warm-hearted spirit. Enjoyed in France and throughout the world during the most enjoyable of occasions, formal and informal, Mercier always brings something extra to the party. An excellent champagne with a generous and warm personality. Mercier: the champagne of great times.. For adults of legal drinking age. Please drink responsibly.
