Jérôme Prévost, La Closerie, "Les Beguines" Extra Brut

Did you know that Pinot Meunier, often overshadowed by its more illustrious siblings, is the backbone of Champagne, lending its fruit-forward charm and delightful earthiness? With flavors of ripe strawberries, subtle spice, and a signature earthy undertone, this grape thrives in the cooler climates of France's Champagne region and parts of the Loire Valley. Its adaptability leads to vibrant sparkling wines and intriguing still options, showcasing both youthful vivacity and elegant complexity.
