100% Pinot Meunier Champagne without the bubbles. Yes please!
Jun 1st, 2017A medium gold color in the glass with a slight touch of green flecks. The nose is restrained and standoffish at first whiff. Give it some time and it will start to show aromas of lemon custard and brioche. A good bit of smoky oak and apples. Such nice minerality happening here with wet rocks and salinity.
Coteaux Champenois is always so much fun, especially when it’s something rare like 100% Pinot Meunier. There’s plenty of vim and vigor here. This is not just a non fizzy champagne, it’s a still wine that can stand on its own. Deft and graceful throughout. Energetic and lively on the tongue. Gains depth and balance on the second day. Easily one of the most pleasant and fun wines I’ve had all year.
