An ever-evolving Meunier driven by reserve wines

Perpetual

Vinous

Savory

Rich yet refined Blanc de Meunier with ripe orchard fruit, brioche, and layered complexity.

Nose: Ripe orchard and citrus fruit, delicate pastry and brioche notes, hints of honey, dried herbs, whisper of subtle smoke, toasted almond.
Palate: Vibrant acidity lends clarity and energy. Creamy mousse and minerally thread give structure and persistence. Nuances of dried fruit and gentle salinity weave through the profile.
Finish: Long and expressive, complex and beautifully poised—ideal for those who appreciate depth, evolution, and the distinctive personality of pure Meunier.
Serve: Chilled, 8–10°C.

A perpetual blend spanning decades, aged at least 48 months on lees.

Pinot Meunier from Vandières in the Vallée de la Marne, where Meunier thrives and has deep historical roots.

Vines: 100% Pinot Meunier from a region where the variety is emblematic.
Soils: Vallée de la Marne terroir contributing characteristic Meunier expression.
Farming: Environmentally conscious viticulture.
Cellar: Built on a solera (réserve perpétuelle) begun in 1992, blending half current harvest with half reserve wines spanning decades. Base wines pressed and fermented in stainless steel, traditional secondary fermentation in bottle, followed by at least 48 months of lees ageing before dégorgement.
Additions: Extra Brut (5 g/l dosage) to preserve freshness and nuance.
