Champagne “Les Oppos\u00e9s” by Maison Romain Tribaut<\/p>\n
Champagne house Romain Tribaut offers 2 cuv\u00e9es with very different looks and tastes. The concept is the opposition of 2 grape varieties: Chardonnay and Meunier. Conceived in 2015 by its eponymous founder Romain Tribaut, the Champagne house wanted to create 2 very distinct and complementary offerings to satisfy all tastes. These are 2 champagnes produced differently for a visually contrasting finale (see tasting comments on the enclosed product sheets). Why Les Oppos\u00e9s? Because it’s the differentiation between 2 single-varietal blends from a selection of plots and villages in 2 very distinct geographical areas: the Marne Valley and the C\u00f4te des Blancs. The initial idea was to give pride of place to Meunier, a grape variety long used for blended Champagnes made from three Champenois grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay), and thus to create a contrast between the black grape “Meunier” and the white grape “Chardonnay”, then by their cru scale of Brut Vall\u00e9e de Marne and Grand Cru C\u00f4te des Blancs. “The first cuv\u00e9es from the 2015 and 2016 harvests were available for sale at the end of 2019. The approach of the end of the sanitary crisis offers us the opportunity to relaunch sales and thus formalize the launch of our cuv\u00e9es” R.Tribaut. In 2021, the 2 cuv\u00e9es received Bronze and Silver awards from the Decanter World Wine Awards. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
