Lelarge-Pugeot Saignée de Meunier Brut Nature

Producer: Champagne Lelarge-Pugeot Region: Vrigny, Champagne, France Blend: 100% Pinot Meunier  Year: Non-Vintage  Winemaker Notes:   "This marked Lelarge-Pugeot's first ever foray into an entirely Pinot Meunier-driven, saignée method, rosé bubbler, and wow is she a killer! Derived from the very early pressings of Meunier grapes, with the freely running juice 'bled' from the tanks after only a day of maceration, the wine is dominated by an overarchingly savory and masculine feel, uninhibited by any addition of dosage, and hemmed together with a soft touch of chalky tannin. Reeling with cool and leafy red berries, cherry 'Sweet Tarts' and strawberry yoghurt, this is a sparkling wine of substance and structure making it a versatile companion on any dinner table."  Alcohol: 12%  Biodynamic, organically farmed and vegan-friendly. Spontaneously fermented and unfined.  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
