Pinot Meunier

gastronomy

This new vintage from the Pascal Lejeune estate captivates from the very first whiff, with its intense, complex, and delicate aroma. Aging the still wine in barrels for a few months lends it a rounder texture while preserving the freshness and minerality of a Champagne. Its fruity and generous palate, with dominant notes of mandarin and spices (cinnamon, ginger), makes it a true gastronomic Champagne.
