PREMIER CRU
100% Meunier
BLANC DE NOIRS
FINE AND MATURE
Its Origin,
La Vallée de la Marne
Terroir “Rive Gauche”:
Mareuil the port, Leuvrigny, Festigny.
Sculpted by its river, the Marne Valley begins on leaving Épernay in the direction of Château Thierry and offers magnificent microclimatic perspectives.
The soils here are deep and complex, made up of clay, clayey silt, silica sand, fossils, sandstone and limestone. They see the Meunier reign over gently sloping hillsides. Still cold in spring, the soils induce a development of the vine traditionally staggered but compensated by the shorter vegetative cycle of this grape variety.
Very quickly expressive and generous, Meunier wines combine tenderness, yellow stone fruit flesh, volume, tropical sensations and bakery notes.

NOSE
Powerful, revealing aromas of ripe fruit, dried

PALATE
Fine and melted structure completed by a beautiful balance between opulence and f reshness. Long-lasting aromas of f ruit and a f resh, sapid f inish.
Pairing :
This cuvée, very expressive and precise on the palate, will go beyond the aperitif and accompany fine or generous dishes such as fresh asparagus with chiffon sauce, poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, a lamb baron with herbs of Provence, a beef carpaccio, a pan-fried foie gras cutlet with morels, a poultry white with saté sauce and dry forms.
