Our third stop takes in the three historic terroirs of Leuvrigny, Damery and Venteuil, where the Pinot Meunier varietal gives wine from this region its distinctive identity. A careful selection process based on the purity of the fruit and the balance of flavours in order to define a style even closer to low dosage.
A treat for the eyes that glistens and gleams, with a distinctive golden-yellow hue flecked with silver. Always with the customary stream of tiny bubbles, so perfectly channelled in the centre of the glass. Wonderfully balanced floral sensations (lime and grasses) combined with the summery scents of freshly-cut wheat fields (grain and straw). It will awaken your senses to refined notes ranging from crisp fruit to juicy citrus. A highly delicate blend through which the character of the Pinot Meunier subtly reveals itself. A sensual textured mouthfeel leading to an indulgent fluidity that blossoms into deeply delicious, fruity notes (white cherry, pineapple and yellow plums). The blissful sensation of reaching a certain pleasure point, of flying high with senses elevated and honed. Finally, a finish that is just as enjoyable, lengthening to notes of white pepper with a pleasant tartness of yellow fruit.
This third offering from the family revives the unique identity of a pure Pinot Meunier from three villages. Served at cellar temperature (10/12°), you may wish to consider pairing it with a veal and foie gras pie or a Bresse Pâté en croute.
