Why shop with us?
Alexandre Grimee’s Sous les Trous is a single-parcel Blanc de Noirs Champagne made entirely from Pinot Meunier, with no dosage for a crisp, uncompromising Brut Nature style. From a vineyard planted by Grimee’s grandparents in Bonneil, it offers a distinctive expression of both the grape and its family-held site.
Tasting Notes
Brisk and lively on the palate, this Champagne is notably dry, with a clear, linear profile and a pronounced mineral character. The producer’s notes emphasize the natural freshness and expression of Pinot Meunier; specific appearance and aroma details, as well as a recommended aging window, are not provided.
Production
The grapes come from a south-facing parcel in Bonneil’s natural amphitheatre, where Saint-Ouen limestone and beige marl contribute to the wine’s mineral character. The wine is fermented in stainless steel without blending different tanks or vintages, then matured in oak before its second fermentation by the traditional method. It is made without dosage and is neither fined nor filtered.
Food & Serving
Its taut, dry style is a natural match for raw shellfish and sushi. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, and pour directly rather than decanting so the wine’s freshness and fine bubbles remain lively.
Producer
Alexandre Grimee is an independent Champagne producer whose work includes wines from a parcel planted by his grandparents in Bonneil. This family connection and the choice to bottle an unfiltered, zero-dosage Pinot Meunier give Sous les Trous a focused sense of place. Further details about the producer’s history and achievements are not provided.
