Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier / 12% / organic

Another star grower, working from just 2.5 hectares of vines planted about 1km from Reims (in Villers-Aux-Noeuds), Emmanuel adopted organic practices in 2008 and has never looked back.  He finds that his wines have more minerality and depth, aroma, length and complexity since he changed to organics - so that's a big tick from us.  His Le Mont Benoit is 37% Pinot Noir, 33% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay, made from a base of 80% 2020 and 20% 2019, disgorged Feb 2023 with 2g/l dosage.  It's tense and vibrant with salty minerals and crisp, citrus laden fruit along with notes of brioche, apple, peach, nectarine, cream and spice.  Long, balanced, complex and harmonious - lovely stuff!!
