Salty! This wine is absolutely lovely but it can't be called a generous or hedonistic Chamoagne. It's all about the soil and minerals now, and it's got great acidity and drive. Beautiful wine and shows the potential of 100% Meunier when done right. Not going to convert anyone into the grower extra brut camp. But if youre there already, there's a lot to love here

Small Gathering w/ Indian Food: Really interesting nose of musk, library books, clove and nettles on top of some red apples. Bright but vinous with a clean but crunchy feel. Tart red fruits mix with elements of toasted nuts and a fresh sense of salinity. An interesting Pinot Meunier side journey from the Champagnes I’m used to. That said, I found a lot of quality in this wine.

Teriffic - '08 power, some secondary flavors, very saline, round and focused - backed by a citric acidity. Really lovely!

Didn’t save my notes but from memory this was stunning and highly recommended. Of course made in the clear grower style but so much going on here.

Very rich, focused complex and impressive Pinot Meunier bubbly.
