Romain Tribaut Champagne Zero Dosage Meunier

France / Champagne / Vallée de la Marne / Meunier
 
Brut Pur Meunier Zero Dosage – 100% Meunier – Verneuil, Olizy, Damery & Romery – 2021 harvest – Dosage 0 g/l.
The wine spends its first 10 months in the same used barrels as the rest of the PUR range, with spontaneous malolactic fermentation taking place during this period. It then ages for three years on the lees before disgorgement in November 2025. No dosage is added.
The absence of dosage is immediately apparent on the nose. Despite the naturally generous character of Meunier, there is a striking sense of freshness and acidity, accompanied by aromas of crisp Discovery apples, white peach and citrus fruit.
Surprisingly approachable on the palate, with an almost juicy character despite the complete absence of dosage. The finish is fresh and mineral, and the overall impression is beautifully balanced – leaving you wanting another glass.
Its rich bouquet and juicy freshness make this an extremely versatile Champagne at the table. Try it with soft cheeses such as Brie or aged Comté – we enjoyed it with a 24-month Comté when tasting at the domaine – as well as Provençal chicken, charcuterie or richer fish such as salmon and tuna.
