Made with
100% Pinot Meunier from 40 year-old vines, this is an unusual Champagne,
spicy, racy and vinous. The Pinot
Meunier grape is planted southward from Champagne all the way to Orleans and tends to be a little herbaceous. But due to Egly-Ouriet's low yields and late harvesting, this Ambonnay drinks like a beauty. Duck magret with asparagus is a suberb match.
