Le Ciergelot 2020
Joseph Perrier
Brut Nature Vintage 2020. A reflection of the terroir of the Marne Valley. Meunier, often overshadowed by other grape varieties, reaches its fullest expression here. In the single vineyard called Ciergelot, it reveals itself as a champagne of great freshness.
Le Ciergelot ZD214 – Verneuil. Located halfway up the slope, this vineyard has soils of moderate clay and chalk.

Winery of Knowledge
A slightly pink hue, which comes from the skin of the Meunier. On the nose, full of red fruits and pomegranate. With aeration, it expresses hints of violets with light notes of eucalyptus. On the palate it begins soft and silky, then expresses a beautiful evolution of the Meunier through notes of yellow fruit, offering great complexity with a slightly spicy finish.
It pairs perfectly with clams cooked in a pan with garlic and glasswort, and grilled leeks. It also pairs wonderfully with the very delicate and flavourful taste of prawns seasoned with Nori seaweed.
Store in a cellar at a constant temperature, away from light. Serve at 8-10°C.

2020
The year 2020 in Champagne was remarkable for its highly variable weather. The winter was cold and the spring cool, delaying the flowering of the vines. But a hot summer allowed perfect ripening of the grapes.
