Champagne Charpentier Terre d'Émotion Pinot Meunier Zéro Dosage NV
Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, FranceThe Charpentier family can trace its Champenois roots back to 1855 when an ancestor opened an inn on the banks of the river Marne. Now Jean Marc Charpentier, 8th generation, is at the helm. Under his guidance, their 24 hectares of vines was converted to to organic and biodynamic viticulture, reaching full organic certification in 2021 and Demeter certification in 2023. This PM comes from the plot Les Chauffours, planted in 1961 in the cru of Charly-sur-Marne's limestone marls. 50% of the plot was rejected in 2017, the entirety of this wine, as they strove for only the best berries for this 0D. What remained was native fermented cool and long, before heading to bottle, unfined and unfiltered. It was disgorged in May 2020. Opening with PM's characteristic purple florals, this slides into red apples, cherry, and mandarin pith, with an oxidative overdraft, and brisk acidity holding all at attention though a humming finish. Certainly a naked, pure look at the grape for those who are fans.Tasted: 02 December 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $117.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
