Description
Champagne lovers take note - you may not have heard of H. Blin & Co but its fine Champagnes are the epitome of elegance and attracting rave reviews among wine critics and international judges.
Henri Blin established his Champagne house before the second world war and today his wines are coveted by true Champagne lovers the world over.
Small producers like this one are France's best-kept secret. They're not bound by the rigorous house styles of the big brands so they can make deliciously individual wines that also offer amazing value. No wonder then that the UK sees "only 2 bottles in every 100" (The Independent) from these jealously guarded 'secret' supplies.
Enticing aromas of strawberry-soaked brioche merge seamlessly into clean, crisp white peach and red currant flavours with extremely soft, elegant bubbles. "The king of summer aperitifs, sublime with braised or roast poultry, a lovely surprise with fresh fruit salad and positively exotic with sushi".
