Émilien Feneuil, Les Babâgis, Coteaux Chamery Blanc de Meunier, 2020

$165.00

Émilien Feneuil farms small, biodynamic parcels in the Premier Cru village of Chamery on the Montagne de Reims, focusing on meticulous vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking. Les Babâgis comes from a single plot of old-vine Pinot Meunier planted on sandy, limestone-rich soils, and in 2020 he vinified it as a rare still white wine rather than the sparkling style typical of the region.

The aromatics are subtle and pure, with notes of citrus peel, white flowers and pear. The palate is clean and finely textured, carried by bright acidity and a gentle minerality that reflects the limestone beneath the vines, finishing with quiet persistence. It is an understated, compelling still Pinot Meunier from one of Champagne’s most thoughtful growers.

Varietal: Pinot Meunier
Appellation: Coteaux de Chamery, Champagne, France
Farming: Biodynamic
Style: White. Precise, mineral and quietly expressive
