TCJ assessment

A beautifully balanced Champagne that shows the distinctly floral side of Meunier. The aromatic profile is expressive and well defined, with freshness giving clarity to the wine and allowing the character of the variety to remain central.

The palate is particularly compelling for its texture. There is good presence and dimension without excess weight, while the different elements remain finely integrated. The wine comes from a single parcel planted in 1971 in Vrigny, a Premier Cru village in the Petite Montagne de Reims.

Persistence is another of its strongest qualities, with the floral character and texture carrying through a long and defined finish. A precise and distinctive expression of Pinot Meunier, built around balance, texture and aromatic complexity.
