Intense nose of yellow stone fruit with a hint of grapefruit, herbs and pine nuts. On the palate, this Champagne is well balanced with a lasting finish. Zero dosage.
Producer
Domaine Méa (formerly Champagne Guy Méa) have owned vines for over a century in the South West of the Montagne de Reims, in the villages of Louvois & Bouzy (Grand Crus) and Valeurs-Mutry (Premier Cru). The 7 hectare estate is now looked after by granddaughter, Sophie, now winemaker, and her husband Franck Moussie. The plots are mainly limestone and clay-limestone soils with Campanian chalk. Chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides are not used and they are HVE certified.
When it comes to the wine making nothing is fixed, everything is interpretation: they work on each plot, each vintage on a case-by-case basis and adapt their intervention to the vine cycle or in the winery to showcase its expression. They still use an old ‘coquard’ press, which they say works perfectly!
Domaine Mea is a hidden secret. In addition to making their own champagnes they sell juice to House of Bollinger.
