A superb champagne. This wine is produced from vines planted in clay soils in 1947 in the single vineyard called Pierre de Bellevue, located in Œuilly on the left bank of the Marne. The juice was fermented in cask without malolactic conversion and bottled in 2005. It was disgorged after thirteen years on the lees and finished without dosage. The end result is incredibly luxurious, with a baked apple aroma accented with rich notes of coffee and smoke. The texture is dense and velvety, yet it still has a crisp acidity leading to an incredible, lingering finish. This is a worthy prestige cuvée by any measure. Drinking now, this wine should continue to provide pleasure for another twenty years.

Varietal Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

James Suckling

If you like mature white Burgundy, then you’ll love this, even though it’s made from a grape variety that’s unknown in Burgundy. The stunning balance of mineral freshness, creaminess and savory character powers this rich, but bone-dry champagne across the rich palate. From over 65-year-old pinot meunier vines, picked on September 27th, 2004. Disgorged on March 26th, 2018. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate

Disgorged in February 2018, the golden-colored 2004 Blanc de Meuniers La Vigne d'Or has a very pure and iodine nose, with ripe apple and raisin aromas. Delicate and fresh on the palate, this is a tight but delicate and fruity Meunier-based wine with good freshness, grip and lingering salinity on the aromatic finish. Fabulous again!

Wine Spectator

A finely balanced Champagne, satiny in texture and fresh, with a hint of salted almond enriching delicate flavors of black cherry, dried apricot and kumquat. Creamy finish of moderate length. Disgorged March 2018. Drink now through 2025. 50 cases imported.

Winery Notes

100% Pinot Meunier. From a parcel in Oeuilly called "Pierre de Bellevue", planted in 1947 by the Tarlants' paternal grandfather Georges on Sparnacian clay-limestone soils. The vines are organically farmed and harvested by hand and the clusters very slowly and gently pressed. The juice ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in Burgundy barrels; the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. The 2009 was bottled in 2010, disgorged in 2024 and received zero dosage.
