This Champagne comes from a very special plot in Monthelon, just behind the Le Brun house on a southeast facing slope. It is entirely Meunier, half of which was planted in 1952 and the other half in 1902; the oldest living vines that I have seen in Champagne. The village of Monthelon is in the Côteaux de Sud Épernay, one of the coldest microclimates in Champagne, and that cold climate, in tandem with these ancient vines, has given us a truly epic wine. Alex’s craft has added to this — he uses a combination of small oak and large foudres for this wine along with a very long, slow fermentation like at Billecart-Salmon. The very cool and even 2014 vintage has also contributed, giving this wine extra electricity, and I think making it even better than the spectacular 2012. -Gary Westby, K&L
