Adn de Meunieur Brut Nature Champagne Pinot Meunier
Champagne, France
Green apple, tartly fruity and malic, bracing. Good volume and texture, albeit not much secondary development.

Feb 18th, 2022I just love this producer. Every single one of these wines are brilliant, sharp, and laser focused. Really nice effervescence and soft, tiny bubbles. The nose is immaculate with floral accents immediately. Red currants and nectarines along with hot buttered brioche fresh out of the oven. As the wine warms, the red fruit aromas really begin to shine through.
Natural, organic, biodynamic and it shows. A superbly crafted wine that truly speaks of the terroir and the winemaker. Another one of these Meunier Masters that’s truly changing the game. 100% Pinot Meunier from 40 year old vines in Festigny. A combination of the 2016 and 2017 vintages with no added dosage for purity and clarity.
Joy in the mouth with insane acidity and balance. This always takes a little time to really open up but when it does you’ll find apple cinnamon bread and red apples. Just a small touch of cherry and cream along with lemons. For an “entry level” bottle this really cannot be beat. But as many of these as you can, just leave me some too.

First off, acidity is bonkers. Not for a group of non champagne drinkers. Sitting in the backyard with apple trees in bloom and jasmine blooming this is amazing. Smells of apples, pear, grapes, peach, but also blossoms. Palate is bigger and fruitier than I’d expect but citrus acidity dominates finish. As it lingers I get lime and salt and my mind even goes to a high end tequila without the heat or burn. Fascinating wine. Vendanges 2016/2017. Disgorged 7/9/2021.
