Description
The Pinot Meunier grape represents about 60% of Lelarge-Pugeot's total plantings, and this is a rare example of a champagne made solely with Pinot Meunier grapes. It is a beautifully balanced dry wine with intense fruitiness. Crisp minerality and creamy textures serve as the backbone for tart green apple and lime juice, with hints of almond.
