Premier cru

Meunier Millésime 2016

Fruity and delicate

The cuvée Meunier Millésime 2016 is composed of 100% meunier grapes from Chigny-Les-Roses, Rilly-La-Montagne and Ludes, terroirs renowned for their richness and finesse of their meunier grapes.

2016 is a special year. After a mild winter and a wet, cold spring, there was nothing to suggest that there might be a new vintage. However, from mid-July onwards, the weather was great until the autumn. The harvest started on September 14th with ripe, concentrated meunier grapes of a very high quality, juste like our two other varieties.

This cuvée is made from our best parcels of land, the juices of which were selected at the time of pressing in order to keep only very best. This beautifully pure vintage represents the quintessence of the meunier grape variety from the 2016 harvest.

Meunier Millésime 2016 Description

Description

Eyes : This champagne has a golden colour with generous, fine bubbles.

Nose : The nose is punchy, with dominant aromas of grapefruit, orange, strawberry, exotic fruit and apple. These are enhanced by notes of liquorice and pine resin.

Palate : Full-bodied and well-structured on the palate, built on notes of forest fruit jelly, redcurrant, and citrus (orange and grapefruit). These aromas meld gracefully into notes of tobacco and chesnut cream, before giving way to a lengthy liquorice and forest fruit finish.

Meunier Millésime 2016 Food pairings

Food pairings

This champagne would be ideal served with a starter of scallop carpaccio, prawn cocktail, or king prawns with citrus. It would also pair beautifully with meat served pink such as lamb or duck. Finally, it makes a super accompaniment to harder cheeses such as abondance and 12 month comté or even a blue such as Fourme d’Ambert.
