Description
What kind of wine it is
Meunier Perpetuel Extra Brut is a Champagne Blanc de Noirs that enhances the qualities of Pinot Meunier. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine perlage. The bouquet reveals clear fruity aromas, enriched by sweet notes of brioche. On the palate, it is a dry, rich and enveloping Extra Brut, characterised by remarkable complexity. Its structured profile pairs perfectly with shellfish, white meats and cheese selections.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in Vandières, in the Vallée de la Marne, a region renowned for viticulture. The Delouvin Nowack winery is a family-run business managed with artisanal dedication by Bertrand Delouvin. The geological features of the soil are fully expressed in this Blanc de Noirs, giving the Champagne a defined varietal identity and excellent expressive finesse. Work in the vineyards aims to transfer the authentic essence of the terroir into the glass.
How it is produced
The winery produces this wine using the Traditional Method and carefully manages a perpetual reserve with the solera system. The base wines rest between stainless steel tanks and partially filled barrels, creating a blend that ensures great structural depth. Subsequently, the prise de mousse requires a long maturation on the lees, an essential process for the full development of tertiary aromas. The low final dosage preserves the natural tension and freshness of the cuvée.
History and Curiosities
Originating from Vandières, in the renowned Vallée de la Marne, this exceptional Blanc de Noirs by Delouvin Nowack celebrates pure Pinot Meunier. Bertrand Delouvin continues the family tradition by creating this cuvée from a majestic perpetual reserve started in 1992. The Champagne matures in steel and partially filled barrels following the solera method, refining itself with a long period on the lees. The result is an Extra Brut that is intensely enveloping, enhanced by a fine perlage, elegant fruity aromas and irresistible notes of brioche.
