Wednesday, February 15, 2023 - 100% Pinot Meunier; champagne from single vineyard "Chemin des Conges" near Epernay. No malolactic fermentation. Matured for 8-12 months in used barriques. Dosage: 2 g/l
Yeasty aroma gives way to bright citrus flavor and good length on the palate. Explosive initial bubbles dissipate within 10 minutes, though the bubbles remain suspended in the wine. Needs more bottle time. Excellent potential. 92+
