Francis has a deep passion for the Meunier, which finds an ideal field of expression here, drawing its freshness from the limestone and its delicacy from the clayey subsoil.

Brut Réserve Vieilles Vignes is a characterful Champagne, blending fruity and mineral elements. It is significantly less rustic than other pure Meuniers. On the nose, it is delicately fruity with accents of peach, lychee, orange blossom, apple, and quince, gently caressed by the scent of orange blossom in a swirl of sea breezes: a hallmark of this terroir.

On the palate, it is pleasantly mineral and full-bodied with a light creaminess. It pairs wonderfully with redfish fillet with butter, sweet potato, and sesame seeds, or veal fillet with smoked bacon, truffle jus, and root vegetables. It also pairs well with Vacherin Mont d'Or or babas with candied peach syrup and mandarin sorbet.

This champagne is made from 50% reserve wines that mature on the lees for at least 24 months.
