NV Jeaunaux-Robin "Éclats de Meulière" Extra Brut, Champagne, France

Textured, mineral, and quietly powerful, the NV “Éclats de Meulière” from Jeaunaux-Robin is a distinctive grower Champagne that highlights the depth of Meunier grown on the clay-rich meulière soils of the Vallée du Petit Morin. Aromas of baked apple, lemon peel, hazelnut, and chalk lead into a structured palate with fine, persistent bubbles, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish. It’s a Champagne of character—vinous, layered, and deeply expressive of its terroir.

ABOUT THIS WINE

“Éclats de Meulière” is produced primarily from Pinot Meunier sourced from organically farmed vineyards rooted in meulière, a distinctive millstone-rich clay soil found in the Petit Morin valley. The wine is made using the traditional method, with fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak, followed by extended aging on the lees to build texture and complexity.

Bottled as Extra Brut with minimal dosage, the wine emphasizes precision and terroir expression. Expect flavors of orchard fruit, citrus oil, toasted almond, and subtle brioche, supported by a chalky mineral backbone and lively acidity.
