Dry on the palate with high acidity and big bubbles.
Showing citrus, yeast, light bread, minerals, green apples, herbs and white pepper.

Popped and poured. This is a bit unusual as it’s a Pinot Blanc and then even more unusual that it was released as a Special Club. The 2017 vintage may have something to do with the focus on Pinot Blanc though I have no information to back that up. Redolent of stone fruits on the nose with mostly white peach and some apricot; both mostly on the slightly underripe end of the spectrum. Lemons and chalky minerals too. Acid is medium(+?). The finish is long and slightly bitter. Pretty fun to drink and probably at its best now or over the next 5 years. Disgorged 10/2021

Opened this for my mom and told her it’s because she’s special.
Never met a special club that I didn’t love. The 2017 Remy Massin is the only 100% pinot blanc offering to make the Special Club cut. 💯 delicious.

Apr 8th, 2023Friday part 2: Remy Massin is a family-run producer that can trace its roots on the sunny hillsides of Ville sur Acre, all the way back to 1865. Located in the heart of the Cote de Bar region, this is the southernmost edge of Champagne. Their vineyards are predominantly planted to pinot noir, with about 20% dedicated to chardonnay and a scant 5% set aside for the pinot blanc used to make this cuvee.
The 2017 Remy Massin is the only 100% pinot blanc offering to make the Special Club cut. This was a really aromatic champagne. Pinot Blanc definitely gave it a unique twist. Delicious.
Will say it again, I have yet to meet a Special Club that I didn’t love.
