Henri Champliau Cremant de Bourgogne Petrone 68 Blanc de Blancs Brut NV

Henri Champliau is a family-owned sparkling wine producer in Mercurey, located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. The company was founded by Alexandre Graffard in 2016, who named the winery after his grandfather, who held deep admiration for the terroir and craftsmanship of Burgundy.

Petrone Blanc de Blancs Brut represents an homage to Henri Champliau’s passion for horse racing. Petrone was a horse bred by Henri Champliau and sold to the American actor Eddie Constantine. It was one of the best horses of its generation in 1968, winning at Paris-Longchamp in France. The wine is produced from Chardonnay, Colombard, and Ugni Blanc, vinified by the Charmat method for three months with gentle bâtonnage.
