100% pinot meunier (all the cool kids are doing it) from one of our favorite grower-producers in Champagne! This is fast becoming one of our best-selling Champagnes with its lighting acidity and gastronomic sensibilities, all while containing pinot meunier's signature fruitiness and charm. The wine is singing its stone fruit song, with creamy richness, cheek-tingling freshness, bold hazelnut and toasted bread notes with ginger and crisp apple undertones. Mouthfilling and pure as the driven snow, this is what you want to serve day and night during the next few months.

About the Producer

The Salmon winemaking legacy spans three generations, and their history of growing grapes stretches back even further. Michel, the grandfather, was born and raised in Chaumuzy, a sleepy little town in the Ardre Valley. He worked in the vineyards most of his life before acquiring a plot of land for himself. In 1958 he produced the first vintage, a grand total of 500 bottles. Today he still hangs around, but his son Oliver and grandson Alexandre maintain the day to day operations and total annual production. The Pinot Meunier grape likes the climate of Domaine Salmon. It draws its strength from the harshness of winter and its fruity flavors from the humidity of its springs. Our clay-limestone soil brings minerality to the grapes. At harvest time, its large black grains with white flesh look great. They offer the palate gourmet nuances which will give its champagne its dense color and its taste notes that are both light and deep.
