Les Vignes De Vrigny 1er Cru Brut Pinot Meunier Champagne

9.3

Without a doubt, my favorite champagne producer. While the Crayeres and VP are my favorites, this was my first time enjoying the all Pinot meunier offering. This was opened alongside Billecart’s Rendezvous No1 and Prevosts’ La Closerie LC 17 (all three being Pinot meunier).

Disgorged mid 2019 after three years on the lees. This screamed Pinot meunier out of those three. The La Closerie (my favorite meunier champagne) has so much cardamom, and espresso coffee tones to it, and the Billecart seemed like a nice, bright champagne yet wasn’t overly expressive. The Egly had so much gummy fruit (like gummy fruit snacks), which I always get with meunier. Extremely expressive. Bright stone fruits on the nose along with spiced pear. Definitely a floral component...tangerine like. The palate is mostly racy at the core but surrounded by rich texture. An excellent representation of Pinot meunier.

@Joshua Fisher : No, most meunier champagnes I’ve had haven’t come across as yeasty. Low dosage here is likely a factor.

SO MUCH FRUIT. Once more LC brings the hard core fruit with a wine that stands on its own and may actually overwhelm whatever you’re eating. — 7 years ago

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier

LC 15. Apricot. Lots of apricot. In a good way. Also Blood orange and pomegranates. Paired with Pierre Peters Les Chetillons and despite Prevost being my favorite champagne, it came in second to PP. — 6 years ago

Is the LC indicating vintage? I’ve not had Prevost before, but I was able to snag a couple of bottles of LC 17 recently.

Shay - yes, the number is the vintage. Lc 17 is going to be great.

Forgive me for not color coordinating correctly (say those last three words quickly ten times - ha) but that is what happens when two great friends get together for a dinner with wives to celebrate birthdays and we are left to our own decisions so our wives are definitely needed to dress us - man is that picture busy except for the wine

Rick brought a treat - 2007 treat - we only decanted for 40 minutes - when first opening I was worried - it was lacking any smell but it was a terrible restaurant decanter (love the food and atmosphere but not a wine heavy place)

We drank (more line devoured) the first wine (Dyer) while patiently waiting for this bad boy to wake up- when it did - wow 😲- I had a
@David L expression experience happen - “I don’t like - I LOVE IT”

So the wine and this vintage and this bottle for me was opulent and silky - it opened so progressively in the glass - like a Lexus LC 500 speed demon (sorry but I do have some preoccupation with this car) - color was a daaaaaark deeeeep puuuuurple (deep purple was a great band but I degress) - smell was full of vanilla and spices and amazingly was very ripe and was made in a flamboyant cult style - It soaked my mouth with melted blackberries, cherries, raspberries, cocoa and sweet oaky favors - the rush from the taste came from the silky tannins which were rich and refined - now it was also really dry - but overall I am totally impressed and the finish was medium long

Word to the wise - in my humble opinion this bad boy needs to be experienced sooner than later - still ripe but the smell is going fast - crazy to say this but the 06s have years left but my 07s are fully matured - Drink up and definitely smile .

La Closerie Fac-simile Extra Brut Pinot Meunier Rosé Champagne

LC 13. Whoa., glad I had with food. Mouth puckering acidity that holds the lovely ripe strawberry & cherry fruit hostage. The fruit comes across as somewhat delicate but I have to believe the acid is holding the fruit in a tight headlock. — 4 years ago

50/50 Les Collines /Stoney Vine Syrah

This is my favorite vintage of this blend. Such a nice balance between Les Collines Vineyard and Stoney Vine Vineyard. You get just enough of the Funk from the SV Syrah and the LC Syrah just smooths it’s out. — 6 years ago
