A truly gastronomic Champagne marked by an ample texture and a complex aromatic bouquet. A superb illustration of the region’s Pinot Meunier.
More infoThis Extra-Brut Champagne owes its name to its original Pinot Meunier plot. Vinified in single parcel oak barrels, this cuvée was aged for 7 years in the cellar. To taste, it turns out to be the perfect expression of its grape variety as proven by its intensely golden-yellow colour, and its aromatic bouquet marked by gentle spices (vanilla, white pepper), dried apricot and butter. The palate, ample and persistent, is just as complex through its flavours of truffle, smoke, quince, caramel and vanilla. This Champagne is therefore undoubtedly a gastronomic wine.
