Description
The pinkie wine partner to the Blanc de Blancs at this tier, hailing from clay dominant soils in Chavot and the Vallée de la Marne, 100% estate owned Pinot Meunier vines. This is a cuvée that they started making in just 2013, and it has been a rocking success in each and every vintage since. In their own words: “With the different vinification, we are able to get a perfect blend between Fruit, Complexity, Structure, and Freshness…”. This current rendition has a ’22 base, with ’21/’20 reserve wines. I typically find it to have a sense of red fruited juiciness, floral length, and charm that is plain irresistibly good; I actually prefer it to the more “complex” single vineyard les Beaudiers. Pinkie lovers, this should be on the short list, as it continues to prove itself a “best in class” pinkie value. A little * awarded here.
