Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Le Meunier des Trois Coteaux Extra Brut by Audrey Brocard is a Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Meunier grapes. Produced using the Traditional Method, it displays a straw yellow colour enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet blends fruity notes, fresh citrus hints and fragrant touches of bread crust. On the palate, it offers a complex and rich sip, with an elegant structure and a long finish. Served chilled, it pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Chassins, a small village located in the Marne Valley. In this particular Champagne terroir, producer Audrey Brocard cultivates Pinot Meunier, respecting the natural vocation of the landscape. The enhancement of this variety reflects an authentic connection with the land, ensuring precision and stylistic continuity. The unique characteristics of the soil and microclimate define a clear identity profile, delivering the most genuine expression of this renowned wine-producing area.
How it is produced
Production follows the Traditional Method and excludes malolactic fermentation to maintain a pronounced gustatory tension. Maturation takes place partly in barrels and, for a significant portion, through the Solera method in partially filled barrels, a technique that enriches the wine's expressive continuity. The Extra Brut style, with a very low dosage, enhances a precise and layered structure. This process guarantees deep persistence and gives a solid ageing potential, estimated between five and ten years.
