Remarkable. 90% Pinot Meunier and completely Biodynamic farming. Brioche and faint honey up front finishing with long, soft bubbles of preserved lemon, saline, and minerals.
A beauty at this age and surely for years to come. Primary fruit character is nearly gone.
So delicious. So easy.

Reflecting the origin of its terroir, biodynamic production, passionate wine producer - this wine is a blend of 90% Pinot Meunier, 7% Pinot Noir & 3% Chardonnay - maturation over 8 years resulting in a complex and gourmand champagne 😋👍
