Bread and pear on the nose. Round and fruity on the palate. A great wine!

Wow. This is a delicious sparkling wine. It's Pinot Meunier and it's delightful. We chose this as the in the limo, toast before we say "I Do" wine. The fact sheet reports that the Pinot Meunier grapes are manually harvested from a 35-yo vineyard in Champagne, FR. It's produced using a slow 16° alcoholic fermentation, without malolactic fermentation, filtering, and clarification, then it spends 4 years in the cellars. They also use thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. All of this contributes to a not-overly bready/cakey taste, which I do not generally like. This is a really special wine that I can't wait to celebrate with!
