Champagne Drémont Marroy - Eclosion Meunier - Extra Brut 2019
The Champagne Drémont Marroy is a family house located in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, the historic terroir of Pinot Meunier. The estate cultivates its plots with a demanding approach, attentive to the expression of the grape variety and the identity of each vintage. The vines, planted on clay-limestone and marl soils, benefit from a temperate climate favorable to slow ripening and natural freshness. The philosophy of the house is based on precise vinifications, extended aging on lees, and measured dosages to preserve tension and purity. Each cuvée reflects a strong style, combining energy and depth.
Éclosion Meunier Extra Brut 2019 highlights the Pinot Meunier, the emblematic grape variety of the Vallée de la Marne, here vinified in a parcel expression and vintage style. The 2019 vintage, marked by beautiful maturity and balanced structure, offers a rich and precise base. The vinification is followed by extended aging on lees in the bottle, bringing complexity and finesse to the bubbles. The Extra Brut dosage, deliberately low, emphasizes the purity of the fruit and the minerality of the terroir. This cuvée embodies a modern and elegant interpretation of Meunier.
On tasting, the robe is luminous, animated by a fine and persistent bubble. The nose reveals aromas of ripe apple, fresh pear, and white flowers, accompanied by slightly brioche and toasted nuances. The palate is lively and structured, supported by precise acidity and a silky texture. The balance between fruit, tension, and depth gives the wine a beautiful length and a clean, saline finish. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fine fish and shellfish, this Champagne reveals all the nobility of Meunier in an Extra Brut version.
