2010 Prestige. A blend of Merlot(85%), Malbec (10%)and Cabernet Franc (5%). Another great wine from this estate. Aged in 100% new oak, which is more often than not a red flag to me, but this wine takes it incredibly well. Solid colour, looks younger than its age. Still a lot of (black) fruit, balancing acidity and powerful ripe tannin. Well-integrated alcohol (14,5% abv.). Long minty finish. Vincent Lemaire is a great winemaker (and a bit of an "enfant terrible" with strong opinions) and I feel fortunate to discover these older vintages. Highly recommended. — 4 years ago

So good. This Muenier heavy blend is stunning. Bready, yeasty, brioche and mineral nose as well with faint raspberry fruitcake. Really aromatic. Palate is juicy and structured with terrific sap and purity. So clean and focused yet also wild, feral and fun. Wonderful. — 7 years ago

Wow. This is a delicious sparkling wine. It's Pinot Meunier and it's delightful. We chose this as the in the limo, toast before we say "I Do" wine. The fact sheet reports that the Pinot Meunier grapes are manually harvested from a 35-yo vineyard in Champagne, FR. It's produced using a slow 16° alcoholic fermentation, without malolactic fermentation, filtering, and clarification, then it spends 4 years in the cellars. They also use thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. All of this contributes to a not-overly bready/cakey taste, which I do not generally like. This is a really special wine that I can't wait to celebrate with! — 3 years ago

Green Apple, lots of citrus acidity, fresh zesty fruits and more minerals than the Caillez Lemaire Eclats tasted alongside. Some rubber band and seashells. Fresher, but a touch unresolved by comparison. On the whole a real favorite and a great value. — 5 years ago

Terrific mineral driven and terroir driven rose. Nose has delicate citrus rind, mineral, mid season cherries. So beautiful. Palate is terrific and very long. Orange citrus, so juicy and refined. Amazingly pure wine. Elegant. So long. — 6 years ago

Love these still Pinots from Champagne. Nose has crunchy berry and cherry fruit. There is a lipstick like intensity to the wonderfully pure and pointed fruit. Mostly mid season cherries also some roses and lovely chalky background. Palate is vibrant and energetic with terrific clarity and energy and oodles of cherries. Super juicy with such great fruit and a charming rusticity. Interesting flinty and smokey aroma now peeking through. Lovely depth and tannins and such nice acidity. Terrific but I surmise more will come out with air. As it aired it got more texture and deep and so so supple. Wonderful. — a year ago

Excellent value nonvintage blend. Everything you want - some yeast, some nice apple-y sour fruit, some great acid and completeness. Bubbles slightly pronounced. Nice. — 4 years ago

Nose has partially oxidized red apple peel, lightly buttered & toasted brioche, moist limestone gravel and day old lemon zest.

Palate has red apple, lemon, dried cherry, lemon pith, (light) dried strawberry with a rich and long finish. Oak aging is not obtuse, but subdued and complimentary. What a great bottle, still young with years ahead!

100% Pinot Meunier | 100% Damery fruit | 100% Oak-aged (Damery sourced oak)

Deep gold. Yellow squash or zucchini, flowers, savory, ginger lemon tea, hint of smoke. Medium plus acidity, medium minus sugar, medium alcohol. Once again, thought it would be a slightly oxidized Jura white. — 9 years ago
