Les Fortes Terres Champagne Pinot Meunier

FIFA and Champagne

This is an interesting and tasty vintage Champagne. Made with 100% Pinot Meunier grapes.

Medium bodied with bright acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, limes, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, yeast and brioche.

Nicely balanced with medium sized bubbles. Salty and interesting.

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. A good food wine too. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Easy drinking and good for parties.

Needs 15 minutes to open up.

Thank you Scott for sharing.

Ultra creamy and loaded with chalky notes.

Ripe pear, spice, flowers and mint are nicely amplified. Initially it displays notes of wet stone, pretty flowers, and delicate fresh raspberry fruits. The palate has more tension and nerve that suggests this will take more time to open, but I love its racier feel. It is linear, though not without its fruit wrapped around its backbone of minerality and acidity.

Special Club, 100% Meunier. So clean, so fresh. Rich and delicious.

Disgorged 2022 - lots of acid, mild strawberry, hint of lime, green apple, some floral notes, long long finish.

Precise and polished. Special Club from magnum.

Celebrating passing WSET3!

Very flavorful, no yeast. Some granny smith apple, tart cherry
