Tasting Note: 100% pinot meunier is only made in the best of years.

This pinot meunier Champagne expresses a ripe-fruit-forward style that you are unlikely to have experienced before.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of black plum, raspberry, red cherry and black currant.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied pinot meunier has medium-plus-intensity flavors suggested on the nose supported by high acidity and completing with a medium-plus finish.

The wine has ripe fruit with some tartness on the finish.

There is a medium level of midpalate complexity.
