About this sparkling wine

100% meunier from Marzilly and Trigny; a minimum of 11 months in oak including 20-25% new oak barrels; more than 50% 2019 with around 30% 2020 (‘I don’t talk about base wine as there is more 2019 here than 2020’); a little less than 20% reserves from 2016, 2017 and 2018; disgorged à la volée and hence zero dosage but the final release will be around 2g/L <br><br> L.P.M means La Petite Montagne, La Parc Marzilly and le pinot meunier, but for some reason known only to the house there is no full stop after the M. <br><br> A savoury style of full yellow copper hue, presenting understated apple and pear fruit, with subtle spice and some fine tannin grip from new oak. Subtle savouriness does not extend as far as charcuterie. It has a soft, buttery, creamy texture which contrasts its fine tannin grip, but holds its own confidently, handling this level of new oak surprisingly well.
