This is a good example of bubbly from the relatively less-known part of the Champagne Appellation of Vallée du Morin, just north of the Côte de Sézanne, characterized by the usual chalky-marly soils of the region, but that here have also noteworthy flint content. At once bright and fresh but also ripe and tactile, this very flavorful Champagne is a 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay blend. This may not be the last word in refinement (the Pinot Meunier delivers size and flesh but perhaps not quite the elegance that Chardonnay might), but there’s a lot of Champagne in this bottle for the money. Well done.
