Loriot Francine Champagne Brut Meunier

Loriot Francine Champagne Brut Meunier is a characterful blend that puts Pinot Meunier at the forefront, giving the wine its generous fruit, texture, and charm. Built with a thoughtful mix of reserve wines, it offers both freshness and depth, making it a refined expression of Champagne with a distinctly approachable style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, lively mousse and a pale golden hue. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, and subtle brioche, lifted by the complexity of the reserve wines. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced and nuanced, with Meunier bringing roundness and supple fruit, while Chardonnay adds brightness and Pinot Noir contributes structure. The finish is elegant and persistent, suggesting good aging potential over the next few years, during which its creamy and complex profile can develop further.

Production
This Champagne is built around 80% Meunier, including 60% from the 2019 vintage, complemented by reserve wines that add depth and continuity to the house style. The blend also includes 20% Meunier 2018, 10% Chardonnay 2018, and 10% Pinot Noir from perpetual reserve, creating a layered and carefully balanced cuvée that reflects the diversity of Champagne terroir.

Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, seafood, white fish, sushi, or light poultry dishes, this Brut also works beautifully as an aperitif. Serve chilled at around 8-10°C, and decanting is not recommended; simply allow it a few minutes in the glass to fully open up.
