The grower champagne stole the show (as I expected). A clear sense of place is showing here, and Meunier is the star giving off both fruit and spice in spades. There’s some lovely autolytic notes of sweet pastry here showing what the most lees aging can give among the three bottles. Not the last statement in complexity, by any stretch, but a wonderfully balanced, high quality expression of Meunier. The group universally loved this wine, and I did too. 91pts.

Pretty amazing overall, another example of great Meunier, on the brighter side
Cannot fully see color (restaurant light) but believe it’s light gold with touch of bronze On the nose, yellow and white nectarine and plum, honey Palate matches the nose, plus a saline finish Rich, fresh, round, good acidity Light chalky, some linen texture
Production:11 423 bouteites Base: Vendanges 2019 Mise en cave. JUN 2020 Dégorgement: FEV 2022 Sucres résiduels: 6gr - cool that they disclose residue sugar
Non wine friend described this as “sweet” so believe the fruitiness stood out lol

There is clearly more depth than the Terriscope, especially on the nose with white fruits. Mouth with a nice tension, it's sweet and fruity at the same time. Sweet finish with a nice salty length. It is a synthesis, accessible and racy at the same time.

Base 2019. Dsg 11/2022. Pure Meunier.
