Leclerc Briant Blanc de Meuniers Brut Zéro 2016

Smoke and dark plum set the tone immediately, with a brooding, savory character that sets this Meunier apart. Oak-derived richness gives the wine real weight and presence, while lemon-bright acidity keeps everything taut and alive. Fine, persistent bubbles carry the texture gracefully, and the finish lands on oyster shell, iodine, and tart apple, long and uncompromising in the best zero-dosage tradition.
