Thomas de Marne - Val Frison 'Cotanes' Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature, Champagne, France (R19) Armand Heitz 9g of RS and 10Although Thomas has taken over the estate (Val Frison) from hi mother, very little has changed. Most wines, like this, are from one vintage and one varietal, seeing no dosage. Cotanes is a single parcel wine made entirely from Pinot Noir, seeing a touch more elevage before going into bottle.
