The structure of this champagne
TASTING NOTES
Pale rose in colour with luminous salmon highlights, threaded with a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose is expressive and precise, revealing crisp red fruits — redcurrant, raspberry — intertwined with delicate florals, fresh citrus and subtle sweet spice. The palate is taut and fresh, with a beautiful minerality, and a long finish that leaves a fruity, lightly saline impression.
The composition
Terroirs
Sourced from the La Brusse parcel (planted in 1984) and Les Pierreuses (planted in 1992), in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon in the Vallée de la Marne, on clay-limestone and flint soils that lend the Meunier a rare mineral and airy character.
About this house
Champagne Éric Taillet is based in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon, at the heart of the Vallée du Belval, in the Vallée de la Marne. The house has built a reputation for excellence by devoting itself almost exclusively to Pinot Meunier, the historic grape of this terroir, expressed through single-parcel cuvées of remarkable precision.
Committed to reasoned viticulture on old vines, Éric Taillet matures his Champagnes in oak casks and pursues a pure expression of place. Each cuvée is a manifesto: to establish Meunier as a truly great Champagne variety, without compromise or artifice.
The perfect pairing
Aperitif
Its delicate bubbles and bright freshness pair beautifully with warm cheese gougères at the start of a tasting.
Starter
The minerality and tension of the Brut Nature respond perfectly to the briny sweetness and citrus notes of salmon tartare.
Main Course
The red fruit character and silky texture of this cuvée marry gracefully with the delicate, lightly gamey quality of roasted quail.
