- Sustainable and organic approach to the vineyard and winemaking
- A blend of the best vintages makes up this wine and this was the pre-cursor to the 'Special Club' wine that became the first Meunier-only champagne in the range.
- Pair with something that has salinity, like Samphire or sweet-edged herbs, tarragon. Citrus style dishes like Ceviché work work well with pink grapefruit and radish.

Straw gold in colour, fine to medium bead. Perfumed and elegant nose showing a stony- mineral quality and almost a herbal edge. This is pristine, clean and pure at first sip and then it floods the mouth with a herbal-saline green apple bomb. There is a distinct bitter edge to this in a pleasant way, think what yellow grapefruit does to the tongue.
This is an all-out flavour and texture driven wine, that can handle a range of foods that contain anything that is saline like Samphire or herbs, tarragon or citrus style dishes like ceviche. What I like most is it’s almost raw nature making it perfect for crudo and carpaccio.
This is also a tribute to Jean Marc Moussé, who adored Meunier and was the mayor of Cuisles for 25 years.
