Disgorged in February 2018, the golden-colored 2004 Blanc de Meuniers La Vigne d'Or has a very pure and iodine nose, with ripe apple and raisin aromas. Delicate and fresh on the palate, this is a tight but delicate and fruity Meunier-based wine with good freshness, grip and lingering salinity on the aromatic finish. Fabulous again!

The 2004 Brut Nature Vigne d'Or, 100% Pinot Meunier vinified with no skin contact, is rich and sumptuous to the core. Tiny yields resulted in an unusually ripe, almost flamboyant Champagne. Candied lemon, honey, butter, apple tart and sweet spices are all pushed forward. There is no shortage of intensity, although at times, the 2004 comes across as a bit rustic. Disgorged August 2016.
