Champagne 'Dans mes Pensées' Brut Nature

Dans Mes Pensées is a Champagne from the Trigny and Ville-Dommange terroirs. With this cuvée, Fabien Bergeronneau tells us about his origins, his dreams, the history of his terroirs, and how he belongs to them.

I'm a sucker for Pinot Noir in Champagne's blends. On top of lemon zest, pink lady's apples, Dans mes Pensées offers strawberries and red cherries. Meunier brings the ample mouthfeel, coating the tongue with a layer of mouth water and fireworks. Blending stainless steel tank and oak aged wines together, this Champagne has best of both worlds. The freshness, the verve, but also the seriousness and the poise.
