We have been working with Champagne De Meric since the beginning of their renaissance, and now their first vintage Sous Bois has been released. It is composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from the villages of Ay, Avize, Cramant, Oger, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Mutigny. It has a fantastic nose of fresh cream and bread dough and the palate has great black cherry Ay Pinot Noir power.

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Pretty notes of smoke, mint, licorice and peaches emerge from the 1999 Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru. This medium-bodied, refined Chardonnay possesses notable complexity in its layered, refined personality. Here, too, the wine offers superb length and finesse." (12/08) 91 points Wine Spectator: "High-toned, with floral and ginger aromas, picking up grapefruit on the palate. Light-bodied, but not light, with fine intensity and a white pepper finish. Drink now through 2020." (11/09) 91 points Stephen Tanzer's Int... Read More »
