Guy Mea, Champagne Cuvee des Loups, 2019

A vintage Champagne from a small grower is always a statement of belief — that a single year was extraordinary enough to stand alone rather than be blended away. Guy Mea's 'Cuvée des Loups' from 2019 makes that statement with confidence. The 2019 growing season produced wines of real richness and depth across Champagne, and Mea's version has had time to develop the secondary complexity that distinguishes a great vintage grower Champagne from a merely good one. This is a serious bottle for serious Champagne lovers.
