André Heucq, 'Héritage Blanc de Meunier,' Brut Nature, NV
Vallée de la Marne, France
An expressive and elegant Blanc de Meunier grown on green “illite” clay, which is perfectly suited to Pinot Meunier. From four sites around the tiny village of Cuisles (population: 150), it complements a classic nose of Pippin apples, baked fruit, jasmine, and bread before a rounded palate that gives way to warmth and minerality The expressive nose is classic and elegant with aromas of pippin apples and baked fruit with a hint of jasmine followed by bread and damson plum. The attack on the palate is round and youthful then leads to a warmer and more mineral profile. The finish is long and supple, marked by a firm yet refreshing bitter component du to the wine’s terroir.
