November 14, 2012 - Disgorged June 2011, and labelled 'Selection' in the UK rather than 'Carte Blanche', this unusual grower Champagne is made with a majority of Pinot Meunier in the blend (60%) giving it a rich, creamy texture with good freshness, ripe tropical fruit and an understated autolytic edge. I'm a little surprised to see that the dosage is a rather modest 8.8g/l since on the whole it tastes a little sweeter than that (closer to the sweetness of something like Roederer NV or Charles Heidseck NV) making it the perfect party Champagne for one or two glasses, but less useful if you want to pair a bottle with food. Sensual rather than cerebral, this is nonetheless very easy to like.
