La Grande Vigne 2018 – Aurélien Suenen

A single-vineyard Meunier of precision and purity: saline energy, fine texture, and effortless depth

Terroir

Sourced from a single parcel in Montigny-sur-Vesle, within the Massif de Saint-Thierry, La Grande Vigne offers a distinctive expression of Pinot Meunier. Deep sandy soils over a limestone base, combined with altitude, bring natural tension and freshness. The 2018 vintage—generous yet beautifully balanced—delivers a wine of breadth and precision, where ripeness translates into refined density rather than weight.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Clean, expressive aromas of fresh apple, pear, and citrus zest, layered with hints of white flowers, fine biscuit, and a delicate saline touch.

Palate & Finish:
A precise entry with a finely textured, creamy mousse, followed by a focused and harmonious palate. The wine unfolds with finesse, driven by a saline backbone and vibrant freshness. The long, refined finish leaves a lasting impression of mineral purity and quiet elegance.
