Meunier - 2016

This vintage Champagne from 100% Pinot Meunier spends three years on the lees and receives no dosage, yielding a pure and fresh expression of the grape. Tantalizing aromas of Nashi pears, quince, and cinnamon lead to a palate marked by balanced bitterness with bright tropical fruits and pineapple. Nashi pears, quince and a touch of cinnamon on the nose, with a palate marked by a balanced bitterness over pineapple and light notes of tropical fruits.
