Well, color me impressed. This is most definitely a champagne for the lovers, less so for the casuals. Fun, highly expressive, and highly impressive. A nice mild golden color. An abundance of tiny bubbles and pervasive creaminess. The aromas take a little time to fully express themselves but soon you’ll note some ginger and floral aromatics. Red and green apples with the hint of yeast. Blue and red fruits start to dominate after some time with a really nice infusion of herbs and mint. Pure Meunier from the Premier Cru village of Chambrecy. Organic practices since the 1970’s and you can tell. The base wine is from 2018 with reserve wines from 2013-2017 and disgorged in June of 2020. Vibrant acidity with a dosage of 1 g/l. Immaculately dry with such nice tension and intensity. Interesting and complex for days and days. In the mouth there’s a burst of orchard fruit initially with clarity and precision. Chalky minerality and moist stone. The red fruit here is generous and welcoming. Keeps growing in the glass, blossoming into something really beautiful. Not a wine that’s for everyone but it’s just right for us. You know who you are.

Disg 18 Sep 2017, 1 g/L dosage. On the nose: lovely oxidative notes: almost chenin-like with lanolin, pure ripe lemon, and a touch of apple. On the palate: so fresh with fantastic acidity, electric lemon, lemon peel, wet stone, yellow plum, and fantastic finish that just tapers off softly. Yum!

Love this wine. Lots of acid—very clean and linear. Crushed rocks and minerality with electric citrus on the palate. It also had a very intriguing finish; very herbaceous (thyme/rosemary), which I found very appealing. Will definitely re-buy if I see it again.

Глазурь, цукаты, старфрут, огурец, мастика. Out of the box, но как-то не супер хорошо.
