Why shop with us?
Pinot-Chevauchet Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Vieilles Vignes is a characterful Champagne made entirely from Pinot Meunier, offering a more textured and expressive take on the classic style. The use of old vines gives added depth and concentration, while the Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine precise, dry, and wonderfully food-friendly.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a refined pale gold color with a lively, persistent mousse. The nose is inviting and layered, with aromas of orchard fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, and subtle brioche, alongside the warmer, more rounded notes that Pinot Meunier often brings.
On the palate, this Champagne is dry, fresh, and energetic, balancing crisp acidity with a supple, gently creamy texture. Expect flavors of ripe apple, pear, lemon zest, and a mineral edge, followed by a clean, focused finish. Thanks to the concentration from old vines, it should also have good aging potential, gaining more complexity over time.
Production
Produced from Vieilles Vignes Pinot Meunier, this Blanc de Noirs reflects the depth and personality that older vineyard parcels can bring. The term Extra Brut indicates a very low dosage, allowing the purity of the fruit and the expression of terroir to come through clearly. As a Champagne from France, it is shaped by the cool climate and chalky soils of the region, which help preserve freshness and finesse.
Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, roast poultry, creamy soft cheeses, and refined canapés. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, and consider a short decant only if you prefer a slightly softer aromatic expression—though it is generally best enjoyed straight from the bottle to preserve its sparkle and tension.
