NV Christophe Mignon ADN de Meunier Brut Nature (2019/2020), Champagne, France
$69.99
VARIETALS: Pinot Meunier
BIODYNAMIC: Practicing
VINEYARD: Vineyards located in the communes of Festigny and Le Breuil. Blend of parcels planted in 1976.
SOIL:Clay-limestone with traces of chalk. 60 cm of topsoil with layers of Tuffe underneath.
VITICULTURE:Blend of biodynamics, phytotherapy, homeopathy and geobiology. One person cares for one hectare-extremely high ratio by Champagne standards. All fruit is hand-harvested.
VINIFICATION:Parcels vinified separately in inox and apoxy lined tanks. Bottling dates chosen by lunar calendar, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle. Each terroir is conserved separately before blending.
NOTES:This zero dosage 100% Pinot Meunier cuvée is a stunner. Beautiful, expressive nose of red fruits and faint floral aromas. Rich on the palate with balanced acidity, taut minerality and a super dry finish. Non-dosé. Blend of 2018 and 2019.
