Champagne Alexandre Grimée - Bonneil Corpus 2021 - Brut Nature
Alexandre Grimée's Champagne, with its Bonneil Corpus 2021 cuvée, is one of those bottles that almost feels like an event for a cellar. Based in Azy-sur-Marne, Alexandre Grimée works a tiny estate of about one hectare, with plots located in Bonneil, in the Marne Valley. Grandson of a winegrower, he represents a generation of Champagne winemakers extremely attentive to life, place, and the identity of each vintage. Bonneil Corpus 2021 is an absolutely rare cuvée, produced in only a few hundred bottles, around 390 copies. Very few Champagnes today reach such a level of confidentiality, especially with such a precise and sought-after identity. Offered under allocation, this Brut Nature is aimed at knowledgeable enthusiasts, collectors, and lovers of micro-cuvées from Champagne. It is an exceptional Champagne due to its rarity, origin, and the sincerity of its expression.
The Bonneil Corpus 2021 cuvée is made exclusively from Pinot Meunier, a historic grape variety of the Marne Valley. It comes from a pressing blend of four plots from Bonneil, with a logic of a global reading of the same village rather than a simple classic blend cuvée. The 2021 vintage, fresh and demanding in Champagne, here gives a tense, straight, and very precise expression of Meunier. The choice of Brut Nature, without dosage, further reinforces this sensation of purity, transparency, and vibration. The wine was bottled in April 2022, then disgorged in December 2024, after a long time on the lees which gives it structure and a more refined bubble. The absence of dosage does not seek austerity but the nakedness of the fruit, the soil, and the energy of the vintage. Bonneil Corpus is thus a radical, rare, and deeply artisanal cuvée, showing a chiselled and confidential facet of Champagne Pinot Meunier.
