Jeaunaux-Robin Éclats de Meulière Extra Brut NV Bottle size: 750ml
France, Champagne
R915
‘I like the freshness and bone-dry minerality here. Notes of dried grapefruit, biscuits, sea shells and salted almonds. Delicate, fine bubbles, all well integrated with a fresh finish.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 92/100
‘This is a good example of bubbly from the relatively less-known part of the Champagne Appellation of Vallée du Morin, just north of the Côte de Sézanne, characterized by the usual chalky-marly soils of the region, but that here have also noteworthy flint content. At once bright and fresh but also ripe and tactile, this very flavorful Champagne is a 60% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay blend. This may not be the last word in refinement (the Pinot Meunier delivers size and flesh but perhaps not quite the elegance that Chardonnay might), but there’s a lot of Champagne in this bottle for the money. Well done.’ – Ian D’Agata, Vinous, 91/100
‘Disgorged in March 2019 with 5.5 grams per liter dosage, the Pinot Meunier-based NV Extra Brut Éclats de Meulière mingles aromas of Meyer lemon and honeycomb with hints of freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, bright and racy, it's a pure, tensile wine built around a lively spine of acidity. 2020-2030’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 89/100
