Description
What kind of wine is it
Alain Mercier et Fils presents Champagne Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature, a wine that fully expresses the identity of Pinot Meunier. Crafted using the Traditional Method, this Brut Nature stands out for its fine perlage and intense golden yellow hue. On the nose, it offers notes of ripe fruit and distinct mineral hints, introduced by a soft and creamy mousse. The palate reveals a dry, deep and balanced character, culminating in a long mineral finish that enhances its structure and ensures excellent longevity.
Where does it come from
Born in Passy-sur-Marne, in the Champagne region, this wine is produced by the independent winemakers Alain Mercier et Fils. The organic and sustainable management of the Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plots aims to preserve the purity and balance of the local terroir. This careful agronomic approach results in an authentic expression with great precision on the palate, delivering a distinct mineral imprint in the glass that defines the winery's signature style.
How is it produced
The production of this Brut Nature strictly follows the Traditional Method, with no dosage to preserve the natural dryness of its profile. Its distinctive feature lies in the complex solera ageing, carried out in partially filled barrels to encourage measured oxygenation. This technique imparts a deep aromatic continuity to the blend, ensuring a creamy and enveloping mousse. The absence of residual sugars enhances the lively freshness on the palate, making it the ideal accompaniment for dishes such as sushi, seafood and medium-aged cheeses.

Monsieur Mercier is an energetic winemaker who loves travel and photography. He has a weakness for white grapes, despite he is based in the West of the Marne, where Pinot Meunier is the master.
During the harvest period, he avails of the collaboration of several Parisian students, who spend a period of work and leisure here, helping to enliven this part of a sleepy little territory.
This joie de vivre of this manufacturer is then reflected in his champagne, which is always crisp and fresh. Read more
