Pinot Meunier | Champagne | France | Sparkling Wine | Flavien Nowack | 2020 | 0,75 L | 12 %
About
A 100% Pinot Meunier Extra-Brut single‑vineyard Champagne from “Les Terres Bleues” in Vandières (Vallée de la Marne), biodynamically farmed. Soils are fossil‑rich marls at ~180 m elevation. Vinified with spontaneous yeasts (2/3 tank, 1/3 old oak barrels), unfined and unfiltered. Aged on lees, dosage ~2 g/L. Style: Sparkling – Complex and Traditional — richly textured, mineral, with long aging potential.
Tasting notes
Pale golden hue with a refined bead and clear mineral character. On the nose, notes of green orchard fruit, white florals, subtle citrus zest and a hint of salinity. On the palate, crisp acidity, full-bodied richness, and a long, slightly nutty finish—an elegant expression of single-vineyard Pinot Meunier.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster, crab, and white meats with citrus or nut-based sauces. Excellent with aged cheeses and shellfish dishes, where the minerality and salinity enhance the food’s flavors.

Pinot Meunier
Pinot Meunier varietal red wine is often lighter in color than Pinot Noir, but its acidity are little bit higher. It can taste of ripe blueberries, candys, sometimes with light smoky hints. Mostly, this grape is used for sparkling wine production.
Blanc de Noirs
Champagne
The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
