Rene Geoffroy Les Tiersaudes Brut Nature 2013

Meunier stripped of its rustic reputation. White flowers, crushed chalk and citrus peel lift from the glass with real elegance and precision. Beneath that, there's genuine depth, a creamy, textured mid-palate pulled taut by brisk acidity and a flinty, persistent finish that lingers well past the last sip. Les Tiersaudes makes a compelling case for Meunier as a serious, age-worthy variety in the right hands.
