This 100% estate grown, 100% Meunier bottling has to be tasted to be believed. No short cuts have been taken- the vines are painstakingly looked after by JB Jacquesson and the wine aged for three years on the lees with 50% reserves from the four previous years. What is the catch? There is none... We buy this direct from JB and then sell it to you. The wine is clean, full of pastry crust aromas and has a long finish that is dry but not austere. Why drink sparkling when you can drink great grower champagne?

Every part of this champagne has been crafted to showcase Jean-Baptiste’s mastery of the Meunier grape. From the moment you first smell the exuberance of the baking spice-and-fruit driven nose, you know you’ve found a winner. The rich, toasty mid-palate reveals hints of warm caramel that can only be found in high-quality champagnes made from 100% Pinot Meunier grapes. With an astounding 50% of the blend coming from reserve wines and aged 3 years on the lees, no other champagne on the market offers this much quality for the price. Don’t let the price-tag fool you, though: this is an extremely delicious bottle of bubbly masquerading as weeknight dinner companion.

The Meunier really shines here, giving this Champagne a unique and wonderfully savory profile. Rich, decadent butter notes come through on the palate, but there’s plenty of bright acidity to keep everything fresh and balanced. A little richer and more distinctive than your typical Brut, with tons of character.

This Champagne shows the character of pure Pinot Meunier: a generous, fruit-forward style with approachable charm. The nose gives ripe apple, white peach, and a touch of honeysuckle, layered with subtle pastry and almond notes. On the palate it’s rounded and supple, with flavors of stone fruit and citrus zest balanced by a fine chalky minerality. The mousse is delicate yet persistent, carrying through to a clean, slightly floral finish. A well-crafted grower Champagne that’s both elegant and inviting — ideal for aperitif or alongside lighter dishes like sushi or creamy cheeses.
Notes
This all estate-grown Champagne is pure Pinot Meunier from vineyards in Troissy. It is on the richer side of brut, and full of exotic spice, fruit, and even some toasty, chanterelle-like notes. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
