Charles Dufour & Françoise Martinot 'Bistrotage' B.19 Champagne 750ml

Françoise Martinot is the négociant label of Charles Dufour, one of the Côte des Bar's most exciting natural growers, based in Landreville. Working with organically farmed fruit and minimal intervention, his Champagnes are vivid, low-dosage expressions of the Aube.

Bistrotage is Dufour's free-wheeling series named for the bistro tables it belongs on — each edition built around a single base harvest. B.19, from the sunny 2019 vintage, is Pinot Noir at its most joyful: generous fruit, fine bubbles and a fresh, saline snap that calls for another glass.
