Champagne Griffon-Trichet Brut 100% Meunier

Terroir

This cuvée focuses on Pinot Meunier, which thrives in the clay and limestone soils of the Vallée de la Marne. This terroir is special, as the cooler microclimate gives the wine freshness, while the richer soils bring body and spice. It’s a classic Meunier site, creating Champagnes full of charm, with a distinct roundness and intense aroma.

Producer

Griffon-Trichet focuses on expressing the individual personality of each grape variety. This single-varietal Meunier Champagne showcases the grape's natural generosity and character. They age it for years on the lees to develop that crucial complexity and fine, silky texture.

Wine

The Pur Meunier presents a beautiful visual aspect with bronze, almost copper reflections, reminiscent of a "partridge eye" tint. The nose is a true explosion of fruit, offering vibrant aromas of mirabelle plum, apple, quince, and pear in various forms, from stewed to syrupy. As it opens, a more tertiary profile emerges with notes of honey, sweet spices like vanilla, and a delicate touch of dried flowers.

On the palate, the attack is distinguished by a beautiful vitality and lively effervescence. This freshness gradually gives way to a richer, more gourmand register with a juicy and silky texture. The wine is perfectly balanced with no detected bitterness or harshness, making it irresistibly engaging and easy to enjoy.

Vintage

Non-vintage by design, blending multiple harvests to consistently preserve the estate's balance and signature house style.

Pairing

Superb with roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or charcuterie.
