100% Meunier, af 72 ára gömlum vínvið. Úr kalkríkum 1er Cru ekrum frá Cuis í Cote de Blancs. Malolactic gerjun í tunnu. 2.5g/l sykrun.
Blanc de noirs from the Côte des Blancs may be a rare beast, but the back of the slope, here in the village of Cuis, actually holds a fair amount of Meunier, which Adrien Dhondt has chosen to highlight in this new cuvée from the late-ripening, cool and crisp 2021 vintage. It's hard to believe, though, that this is a vintage where Meunier often struggled. Dhondt achieved full ripeness, as the effusive black plum, honey and browned pastry aromas demonstrate, while sympathetic barrel fermentation brings toasted spice complexity to the appealing, crisp fruit. It's a little more straightforward than the blanc de blancs, as one would expect, but this young project promises much in aiming to highlight Meunier's potential in this area. - Decanter.com
