- Notes
- A Meunier-dominant blend of all three primary grapes from 25-50 year-old densely planted vineyards in Vrigny, Intuition is a nod to nature's intuition and that of the individual(s) caring for these vines. Full bodied with a tang and chalky grip, Intuition is a delicious and complete Champagne.
