  • Tasting notes

    Brilliant golden yellow color. Opens with a complex nose full of yeasty aromas and bready notes, complemented by hints of butter, vanilla, and ripe peach. On the palate, toasted notes combine with a fresh, vibrant citrus note. A refined wine with a surprisingly long, full, yet refreshing finish.

    Store in a cool, dark place.
  • Production

    Coeur de Meunier was vinified and aged entirely in small oak barrels. About 10% of the barrels are new oak. The wines were bottled in 2020 and will remain on lees until the next dégorgement. The current batch has been on lees for approximately three years.

What is Extra Brut Champagne?

Extra Brut Champagne contains even less sugar than Brut, between 0 and 6 grams per liter. This results in an extra-dry style with pure, pronounced flavors. Extra Brut is popular with connoisseurs who appreciate a clean, mineral champagne with plenty of freshness.

What is a Millésime or Vintage Champagne?

A Millésime (or Vintage Champagne) is made from grapes from just one exceptional harvest year and is aged in the bottle for at least three years. This type of Champagne perfectly reflects the climatic conditions of that particular year and often has a more complex and layered character than a non-vintage Champagne.

What dynamics does wood give to Champagne?

When Champagne is aged in oak barrels, it adds extra structure, roundness, and complexity. The oak provides subtle oxidation, making the Champagne richer and fuller, with aromas of vanilla, toast, honey, and spices. This is often used in Champagnes with long aging and deep flavors.

What is Blanc de Noirs Champagne?

Blanc de Noirs means "white from black grapes" and is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier. Despite the dark grapes, the champagne has a light color because the juice is pressed directly without maceration. Blanc de Noirs champagnes are often fuller, more powerful, and richer in flavor, with notes of red fruit, spices, and a creamy texture.
