High end Champagne 2012 vs 2013, tasted blind (Bad Ragaz) : 100% Meunier, non-Blind. Served as aperitif. Fresh lemon with some white flowers, green apples, chiseled and racy without being lean. Does not feel like a typical Meunier, much less spices and bruised apples as with Chartogne-Taillet, Gamet or Bedel. Almost like a Blanc de Blanc with a touch oxidative wine making like in Jacquesson. Great purity.

100% Meunier, non-blind. Served as aperitif. Fresh lemon with some white flowers, green apples, chiseled and racy without being lean. There are also some herbal notes, red fruit, sweet spices and a touch of soy sauce. Medium-full bodied, with medium-high acidity. Great purity.

Lovely Meunier nose with chalk and subtle autolytic notes. Fine bead with excellent freshness on th epaulet, with more chalk, lovely acidity, and snappy fresh fruits: ripe apple, rhubarb. Finishes bright and clean, very more-isa. Beautifully balanced light dosage. Drinking very well right now. I am sure it could age for some time, but it is in such good spot right now I am not sure I can think of a great reason to wait.

Champagne & Caviar by Atera (Atera - 77 Worth Street in NYC) : 100% Pinot Meunier which always makes this producer a bit different. Very crisp and a certain change up from the wines that came before. Great acid. There's almost like a flower stem (think tulip) note to it. And just a touch of tin. As I said, different, but it seemed to work.

(Disgorged in November 2017, 100% Meunier lieu dit ‘Les Fortes Terres’, dosage 3 gr/l) Youthful nose showing freshly baked bread, pears and citrus flowers. Opens up with some marzipan as well. Fresh on the palate with lime acidity and butter pears before the nice and lengthy lime zest bitterness on the finish and leaving a nice saltiness on the lips. This was a very pleasant showing in the warm afternoon sun and one of the best pure Meunier cuvée I …

Will be released later this year. 100% Pinot Meunier from the single parcel near the winery in Cuisles, from the lieux-dit called les Terres Fortes. 3 g/l dosage and disgorged 11/2017. Lots of mid-palate generous texture here, along with a mineral/tonic water quality, zesty and a good spine of acid. Finishes with some bread dough notes and light lemon.

(Disgorged November 2017, 100% Meunier, dosage 3 gr/l) Yellow colour with a youthfully muted nose at first. After some time in the glass to air and warm up it started showing notes of baked bread, citrus, ocean and mature yellow apples. Creamy and smooth on the palate and very accessible already showing citrus acidity to back up all of the fruity apple sauce taste that dominates the mouth right now. This was good and accessible, but I miss some more …
