Tasting Note
"Choosed for their power and elegance, our massal selections of Pinot Noir and Meunier together produce a Champagne rich in flavors and with a strong structure. Definitely a wine with a gastronomic dimension, which highlights the black grape varieties blossoming on the chalk of Mareuil-sur-Ay."
Vinous 93, Antonio Galloni (November 2023)
The 2018 Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier from more than 40-year-old vines in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Five percent of the base wine was fermented in oak. A shy nose brings forth red-cheeked apple, bright, tart yet really ripe. The palate comes in with lively mousse that accentuates saltiness and more of that aromatic apple flesh, bedded on salty, yeasty and springy brioche. This is beautifully tart, has purity of fruit and, despite 2018, beautiful freshness and a lasting finish. Dosage is 3gr/L. Disgorged:July, 2023. - Anne Krebiehl MW
