Cuvée Jour 3: Meunier à Belval-sous-Châtillon 2020 from Maison Odyssée 319 continues the trend of highlighting local villages.
This cuvée is 100% Meunier, a first for Olivier Bonville and his son-in-law Ferdinand Ruelle. For this creation, they met David Faivre from Belval sous Châtillon. This winemaker, passionate about his terroir and in conversion to organic farming, impresses with the fruity intensity and character of Belval wines.
The 2020 harvest was marked by variable weather conditions, with a rainy start to the season followed by a hot, dry summer. This led to high quality grapes, with an excellent balance between sugar and acidity. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Champagne winemakers harvested promising grapes, heralding an exceptional vintage.
This single-varietal wine comes from a clay-limestone plot. This is a gourmet cuvée that remains crisp and fresh, with notes of pear, hazelnut and lime, and a minerality that brings out flinty aromas and a noble vegetal bitterness on the finish.
This champagne Jour 3 : Meunier à Belval-sous-Châtillon 2020 pairs perfectly with a fish terrine with vegetables.
This short-lived cuvée is produced in a limited edition of 3800 bottles.
