Color
light yellow with light amber reflections and lively mousseux
Nose
The Éclats de Meulière - that one millstone - shows the signature of the house in a very nice way. It opens with bright stone fruit, in which some lemon wedges mix, dried fruits and some biscuit. The champagne comes across as lively and fruit-driven. Yes, one already thinks to recognize the fruit of the Meunier.
Palate
On the palate, one can hardly believe that the wine is labelled Extra Brut, so beautifully round and flattering does it appear. But Cyriel Jeaunaux has used the dosage skilfully. The wine is balanced and pure with creamy, dense and almost fleshy fruit, which is countered by fine acidity and mineral-limestone vitality. In addition to the fruit, the champagne shows finesse, paired with a certain elegance and a down-to-earth grounding in artisanal Champagne, which thus clearly stands out from the style of the well-known brands.
