2018 Suenen 'La Grande Vigne' Pinot Meunier Extra Brut, Champagne, France Hubert Lamy Planted in the mid 1990sFrom a single parcel of own rooted Pinot Meunier vines planted on chalk and clay silt soils across a south facing mid slope in the Montigny sur Vesle., this cuve is made by Aurlien Suenen to highlight Meuniers aromatic generosity with minerality and precision. Fermentation is spontaneous in stainless steel, followed by 48 months on the lees before disgorgement; dosage is under 4 g L for a genuine Extra Brut finish.
