100% Meunier, extra brut (3g/L). Disgorged 18/11/2018. Straw yellow with hints of pink, fine bead; medium intensity aromatics with brioche, some white fruit; palate is medium bodied, medium-plus acidity, medium alcohol, balanced peach and citrus/lemon, a bit of brioche but not too prominent; finish is medium length. A nice champagne with good balance, vibrant without being harsh, and nice personality. 91

Nice complexity and tiny bubbles, but an overly toasty flavor profile that I don’t love. Reminds me of certain Krug Grand Cuvees. Still quite enjoyable and paired nicely with a seafood appetizer.

From a magnum and more than any other wine I think bubbles just taste better from that format. It's young and still a bit tight and all of that, but it was very enjoyable both as a pre-dinner drink and to handle some spicier items and then as an after dinner sipper. All around and tasty.

Beautiful fruit and so incredibly refreshing. A lovely alternative to traditional sparkling wines with the 100% pinot meunier. Can't go wrong with this bottle.

To me, this taste like toast cover in chanterelles sautéed in herbs and pineapple; somehow that works?
