Minière F&R, Influence Cuvée Brut, Champagne, NV 2020-2019
Minière F&R is a small, family-run grower Champagne house based in Hermonville, in the western Montagne de Reims, where chalky soils and cooler exposures shape wines of freshness and finesse. Influence is the domaine’s signature cuvée, blending fruit from multiple parcels and vintages to capture complexity. Farming is sustainable and attentive, with a restrained approach in the cellar that favors balance.
This release is expressive and well-proportioned, offering ripe apple, pear, and citrus peel, layered with subtle brioche and almond notes from time on lees. The palate is polished and energetic, with fine bubbles, bright acidity, and a gently creamy texture that carries through to a clean, composed finish. Approachable yet thoughtfully made, this is a versatile Champagne that works equally well as an aperitif or at the table.
Varietal: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Appellation: Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Sparkling. Balanced, expressive, and refined
