Winemaker Francis Orban spent years analyzing both the soils and vines in his familly’s vineyards to select three special parcels for a new line of single-vineyard Champagnes. His first release is ‘Les Hauts Beugnets,’ a pure Pinot Meunier wine from his home village of Leuvrigny. Fermented in French oak barrels and aged for seven years in bottle under cork, ‘Les Hauts Beugnets’ is soulful and seductive, wonderfully fresh and refined. This is great Meunier! Only 1,500 bottles produced. NORTH BERKLEY IMPORTS
WINERY NOTES: "The first nose is expressive, elegant and nuanced. It shows notes of orange, yellow peach, toasted bread, peanut, caramel, toasted almond, and mandarin. The first encounter in the mouth is supple with creamy effervescence. The champagne develops a full, fruity and pulpy texture, underscored by a hint of fresh and persistent orange acidity."
