Champagne Extra Brut Les Terres Chaudron

When given sufficient attention and the winemaker humbly takes a back seat and allows the wine space to develop, Pinot Meunier can produce something truly wonderful. Something like this wine, Guillaume's Les Terres Chaudron. The wine is grown in Cerseuil, a small hamlet a good distance west of Aÿ, which the young Henin cultivates organically. Aging in wooden barrels is intended to shape the wine, allowing it to mature in a controlled manner so that it will give us much pleasure soon after it goes on sale. And Guillaume has succeeded wonderfully in this. Les Terres Chaudron is a wine with a lot of character, one for a large Burgundy glass. If you are one of the lucky ones who can get your hands on one of the few bottles, we wish you much enjoyment with this delicious wine.
