Disgorged 12.21.2017. 95 Pinot Meunier, 5 Pinot Noir. Very mineral and vinous. Tart red fruits: tasty red cherry, unripe strawberry, raspberry, also chalk, a little birch and dried herbs. Big structure with a fruit-driven richness. Excellent way to bid farewell to 2018!

Dec 15th, 2018This gets extra points for its low price. If you have yet to buy or drink this, stop waiting and buy now. The same can be said for any of Cedric's wines, but there's not a wine drinker alive that couldn't like this. Bone dry, but balanced by a richness of mineral fruit that only Cedric call pull from Meunier. An eye opening, triumphant wine.

May 1st, 2021And now we come to an absolute banger. A shimmering lemon gold color with fine bubbles and innate creaminess. The nose is outstanding and explodes with a burst of orchard fruits and dainty white flowers. Grapefruit and oranges combine with a hint of smoke and honeycomb. As it matures over time notes of subtle yeast and a dash of cinnamon spice. Phenomenal.
Solera method. Perpetual reserve wines. Beautifully crazy stuff. With the incorporation of reserve wines starting from 2003, there is an added touch of brilliance and purity here. The master of Meunier, Cedric Moussé, adds 20% Pinot Noir to the mix here and this is a champagne that sings. Late disgorgement with no dosage and it’s truly not needed.
Terrific acid and structure leading to the palate which envelopes you with wonderful fruit. Cherries, melon, and more grapefruits star with nutty goodness. A serious champagne with a playful nature. Absolutely stellar.
