Champagne Charlot Père & Fils

Pinot Meunier 2009

The Champagne Pinot Meunier 2009 by Charlot Père & Fils is made of 100% Meunier grapes from selected vineyards owned by the Domaine facing south near the village of Châtillon-sur-Marne, in the Vallée de la Marne area – highly suited to the production of Meunier grapes. 

Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts only in fût de chêne, aging for over a year in oak vats with weekly batonnage to avoid oxidation. Then the second fermentation occurs in the bottle on its own yeasts for at least 60 months. No final dosage – making it a Brut Nature – and a little addition of sulphites for this rich, dense, fruity and limited edition Champagne Blanc de Meunier.
