Region: Côtes des Blancs

Description: The French word for ‘fox’ is ‘renard’. It seems no surprise that the commendably consistent wines of Nominé-Renard are produced by a searing fox-like cunning, only attainable through generations of viticultural practice. Simon & Cécilia are the third generation to produce wine under the house label, but by no means have they been thrown in the deep end. The succession of chef de cave at Nominé-Renard is, like their winegrowing approach, organic.
