Year: Non-Vintage 

Winemaker Notes:  

"Our third stop is the three historic terroirs of Leuvrigny, Damery and Venteuil where the Meunier varietal gives the wine its distinctive identity. A careful selection process based on the purity of the fruit and the balance of flavors for a style definition even closer to the low dosage.  

A treat for the eyes that glistens and gleams, with a distinctive golden-yellow hue flecked with silver, and the customary stream of tiny bubbles perfectly channeled in the center of the glass.  Wonderfully balanced floral sensations (lime and grasses) combined with the summery scents of freshly-cut wheat fields (grain and straw). This cuvée will awaken your senses to notes ranging from crisp fruit to juicy citrus. A highly delicate blend where the character of the Meunier subtly reveals itself.  A sensual textured mouthfeel that blossoms into deeply delicious, fruity notes (white cherry, pineapple and yellow plums). A blissful sensation of flying high, with senses elevated and honed. Finally, an enjoyable finish lengthening to notes of white pepper with a pleasantly saline tartness."
