The experience of a new monovarietal, Pinot Meunier
This vigorous grape variety from our Terroir de Rilly-la-Montagne, Pinot Meunier, reveals a supple and round champagne wine with powerful fruitiness.
Clearly recognizable thanks to its fluffy leaves as if a fine rain of flour had come to rest on it, the Pinot Meunier grape offers a lavish champagne and a new experience for lovers of single varietal wines.
Tasting Notes

Appearance : Pale yellow gold color with bright yellow highlights, fine bubbles and persistent collar, luminous and fluid appearance.
The olfactory : Peppery violet, fresh blackcurrant, apricot, marmalade, pomelo, plum, raspberry, fresh grapes, quince compote.
Palate : Soft and fresh attack, creamy and melted effervescence. Luscious and crunchy fruity substance underlined by a taut pomelo acidity. Mid-palate orchestrated by a chalky minerality which confers frankness, iodized salinity and length on the palate. Dashing ensemble expressing a precise and nuanced fruitiness, and carried through to the finish by a pure and vibrant freshness.
