Huré Frères Instantanée Blanc de Noirs 2017
– A candid reflection of the vintage

Are you looking for a champagne with character, vibrancy, and personality? Then Huré Frères Instantanée Blanc de Noirs 2017 is a sublime choice – a vintage champagne crafted with a single purpose: to reflect the year’s unique weather conditions without compromise. This is the champagne for those seeking depth, purity, and terroir-driven elegance – and who want to rediscover that very expression, year after year.
Huré Frères’ L’Instantanée is unique within the house’s portfolio – it is the only vintage champagne produced every year, no matter how demanding nature has been. This makes it a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts eager to compare the vintage’s distinct characteristics side by side. In 2017, the cuvée is composed of equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, hand-harvested from top vineyards in Ludes, Villedommange, Rilly-la-Montagne, and Brouillet – all Premier Cru villages in the heart of the Montagne de Reims.

Vinification and Aging
Before disgorgement, this champagne rested for a full 5 years on the lees, adding depth and structure. Despite the extended aging, the champagne remains razor-sharp and pure – a testament to precision and balance. The fruit takes center stage, framed by elegance and minerality for an intense and vibrant experience.

Tasting Notes: Fruity Finesse and Saline Elegance
On the nose, you’re greeted by yellow fruits in full bloom – sun-ripened peach, honeydew melon, and apricot, beautifully interwoven with lemon, lime, and a hint of grapefruit. Everything is delivered in a crystal-clear aromatic profile where no single note overpowers the others.
On the palate, the wine is sleek, focused, and vibrant, with a precise acidity that awakens the senses. Soon, a creamier and rounder texture unfolds – a velvety-soft contrast to the fresh opening. A lightly salted finish adds a maritime lift and elevates the wine to gastronomic heights.
