Petit Meslier is a rare variety but plays a valuable role in some of the world’s great sparkling wines. Known as a variety that can retain freshness under a range of climatic conditions, it produces a crisp base wine with great line and length. This base is then bottled and aged on lees for five years, to build a complex and balanced sparkling wine.

Style: |
Many foods would overwhelm the delicate flavours and structure of this wine, so enjoying it as an aperitif (or even after dinner) would be a good choice. However, oysters and scallops would also be an excellent match, with the fresh saline flavours of this seafood working well with the creamy mid palate of this wine. |
