This zero-zero Coteaux Champenois Rosé is the family’s first ever attempt at making a still rosé made exclusively Meunier. The Meunier is from two parcels with tiny concentrated clusters, which create highly aromatic Meunier grapes that evoke delightful and surprising notes of high-toned red fruit, watermelon, pomegranate, tarragon, and salinity.
