Champagne Eric Taillet Exclusiv'T Blanc de Meunier Brut NV Review
The fourth generation to run his family estate in the Vallée de la Marne, Eric Taillet is committed to showcasing the potential of the often-overlooked Pinot Meunier grape. He sustainably farms his plot of old vine Pinot Meunier to coax out the variety’s subtle complexity. This cuvée is 100 percent Meunier, using 30 percent perpetual reserve wines. The wine opens with notes of white flowers, green apples, and apricots but on the palate it veers into a deliciously toasty, creamy, vanilla-forward profile.
