It comprises 8,000 hectares under vine within an alternation of hills, forest, villages and a several rivers.

The extra clay in the soil, brings a fuller body, a rounder mouth-feel and bigger fruit flavour than the Champagnes from the north. Indeed many Champagne producers in the north buy fruit from the Bar to flesh out their blends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Côte des Bar is planted mainly to Pinot Noir (~86%), followed by Chardonnay (~10%) and a little Pinot Meunier (~4%).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Buzz Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50279896383738,"sku":"COMTEDEVALANDYNV","price":74.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/8329\/1492\/files\/Comte_de_Valandy_Brut_NV.jpg?v=1789110376","url":"https:\/\/buzzwines.com\/products\/champagne-comte-de-valandy-nv","provider":"Buzz Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
