LeClerc-Briant, Blanc Meuniers Champagne, 2016
Leclerc-Briant has been an organic and biodynamic pioneer in Champagne since long before it was fashionable, farming a certified estate around Epernay. Blanc de Meuniers is exactly what it sounds like, a single-variety Champagne made entirely from Pinot Meunier, the region's underdog grape, here vinified and aged in oak. The 2016 has spent years on the lees and arrives with notes of orchard fruit, citrus zest, and gentle pastry, finished bone-dry in the house's Brut Nature (zero-dosage) style. This is a serious, savory Champagne now drinking in a lovely mature window. Drink over the next few years.
