Alain Mercier, Passy-sur Marne (Aisne)
An interesting Champagne. We are talking about the Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Holo Brut produced by Alain Mercier in Passy-sur-Marne. 100% Chardonnay grapes, cultivated according to a reasoned culture method and harvested by hand. During vinification of the bases, the wines also undergo malolactic fermentation. Maturation of the wine in the bottle in contact with its yeasts guarantees the finished wine a good complexity. The Cuvée Holo presents itself in the glass with a beautiful straw-yellow colour, perfectly brilliant. In the glass, it is easy to admire the lively effervescence that gives rise to a persistent foam on the surface. On the nose, it reveals a fine and elegant profile, with discreet floral notes preceding aromas of menthol and herbs. Complex, ripe notes of liquorice and chocolate also emerge. On the palate, the Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Holo Brut reveals a well-balanced taste, with a generously long finish reminiscent of brioche and citrus notes. A wine of great elegance, it is characterised by a perfect balance between acidity and smoothness, perfect to be enjoyed on its own or in combination with delicate fish or shellfish dishes.
33% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Meunier, 33% Pinot Noir. This is how Alain Mercier has divided his 9 hectares of property. The company is based in Passy-sur-Marne, in the Aisne region. For Champagne lovers, this means that we are in the area known as the Vallée de la Marne, the westernmost part of the appellation, where the river mitigates the vagaries of a mischievous climate and where, generally speaking, Pinot Meunier rules the roost. Not in this case, however. RM, Récoltant manipulant, Alain Mercier produces around 80,000 bottles annually, in keeping with tradition. Fresh, crisp bubbles, immediate, to drink on any occasion. Today, it is his son Romain who guides the company's fortunes in the cellar, well guided by his father. Determined to make his own mark, without denying his family background. His Champagnes are described as 'reliable' with (super) competitive prices.
