Roland Champion Ephémère Le Cul du Singe 2022 Champagne AOC Pinot Meunier

Terroir of Verneuil

Blanc de noirs

Brut Nature - Without dosage

An ephemeral cuvée and a favorite of the harvest. The nobility of a grande Meunier on a historic land. Massal selection planted on chalk by Roland Champion in Verneuil, in the Marne Valley.

"Avez-vous déjà vu pousser quelque chose sur Le Cul d’un Singe?" This is what my grandfather Roland was told when he took the initiative in 1972 to plant vines on this location, which had not been cultivated until then. The Cuvée "Le Cul du Singe" is a jovial, fruity, accessible and modern wine, inspired by a culture of the vine and the winemaking methods of the past.

Natural vinification in 228 oak barrels and aging on the total lees for 10 months. Brilliant gold color with coppery reflections, a hallmark of Neri vines. A fruity and jovial nose with floral aromas and delicate red fruits. A finish on the palate with bitter notes, especially grapefruit peel. An intimate and precise champagne with a drinkable pleasure, in the mouth it is velvety and silky. This cuvée has not undergone any stabilization or filtration, a natural deposit can form in the bottle during aging which testifies to its respectful practices during development.

Serve in white wine glasses at a temperature of 12 ° C.
