From a 50 year old plot of Meunier, planted by Benoit's grandfather, this is a brooding Champagne. Apple crumble and spice on the nose, with a palate of texture and power, and so much energy. Outstanding.

The golden-yellow 2003 Blanc de Meuniers La Vigne d'Or shows a slightly red shimmer in its color. Deep, ripe, rich and intense on the nose, with lots of brioche and ripe, matured fruit aromas, this is a pure, fresh, very fine and elegant Pinot Meunier with a long, tensioned and refreshing mineral finish. This has remarkable finesse and freshness for 2003, a vintage that was terribly underrated for far too long but brought some stunning wines from cooler terroirs like this east/northeast-facing vineyard. This bottle was disgorged as Brut Nature in October 2014.
