Alexandre Chartogne spent time working for the iconic Anselme Selosse before taking over the reins at his familyand#39;s property in Merfy. Alexandre has brought to his winery what he learned from Anselme: accept and embrace the fact that each plot of land has its own unique expression and allow the wine to speak of its place of origin and moment in time. Les Barres is a parcel of ungrafted Pinot Meunier and was the first wine Alexandre made after coming home to Merfy, and most CT obsessives (there are many) consider this his crown jewel.andnbsp;

Seems like I’m on a Pinot Meunièr streak. A cherry and almond nose. Similar to the Dehu the aromas are a nose magnet. Like a vice on the palate , great mineral and fruit interplay that screamed for food. Wish I knew how they age , certainly appears to have the raw materials to do so.

Much different than 7 months ago. Rose and citrus on nose, brioche, lemon custard, pastry, cantaloupe and honeydew on palate, long finish. Like my kids, this wine grew up really fast.

2012. Pear, apricot, blood orange, and how do I say it, um, just a bunch of other stuff. Mineral, tight, long finish, young. Piercing acidity. My kind of Champagne. Pinot Meunier.
