Thanks to its natural generosity, Meunier constitutes over half of the blend in this cuvée while the rest is composed of equal amounts of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for a total of over 30 different cru. However, it is time that is undoubtedly the key element that determines the aromatic completeness with the wine sitting on the lees for four years and then aging in the bottle for another six months.
Dosage: Zéro initially has a delicate bouquet with notes of elder flower, star anise and spring flowers along with those of golden delicious apple that then open to a generous scent of almond and apricot pastry with bracing hints of citrus. In a blind tasting, the mouthfeel seems so harmonious that the lack of any dosage is unnoticeable while the texture is meaty with sensations of peach and orange marmalade. The progression is creamy and brilliant and the lack of any bitterness in the saline nuances is surprising, wrapped in the reassuring softness of a honey brioche.
