100% Pinot Meunier with zero dosage — a purist's Champagne that celebrates this often-overlooked grape in its most unadorned form. The name is the joke and the point: Meunier was long treated as the third-class citizen of Champagne, banned in spirit if not in law from the blends of serious houses, and this bottling puts it alone in the spotlight with no sugar added to soften it. Richard Fouquet, fifth generation at this 1885 family house in Cramant, sources the fruit from very old vines in Mardeuil, down in the Vallée de la Marne where Meunier truly belongs, and ages a portion of the wine - about 20% - in neutral oak barrels. Fouquet farms organically and works by hand, and while Guiborat is best known for chalky Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, this is the estate showing its other side: broader, rounder, more overtly powerful. The 2022 season was warm, sunny and generous in Champagne, giving unusually ripe Meunier while holding on to acidity. A Champagne for those who want to taste the grape, not the dosage.

More about Guiborat

Champagne Guiborat is one of our most sought-after small growers — folks just can’t get enough of these racy, crystalline expressions of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay. The Guiborat family traces their roots in the Côte des Blancs back to 1885, but it was only in 1996, when then 21-year-old Richard Fouquet (the Guiborat name and the vines come from his mother’s family) packed up his life in Paris to join his Grandmother at the family domaine. He selected 3 hectares of their best terroirs, converted to organic viticulture, and Champagne Guiborat was born. Richard's decision to convert the farming and stop selling to the Grand Marques was radical back then. But he's simultaneously also preserved time-honored Champagne traditions, such as a focus on blending of sites and terroirs, a technique that's seen less often as single-vineyard bottlings continue to trend. Through blending, Fouquet employs a wide palette of flavors and textures through which he can capture a unique expression of his prime terroirs.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

Varietal Notes

100% Pinot Meunier

Vineyard

Two neighboring parcels in Mardeuil in the Marne Valley: “Les Carrés du Midi” (planted in 1960), “Les Chataîgners” (1954 and 1958 plantings).

Orientation

North facing.

Soil

Chalk.

Viticulture

Practicing organic.

Vinification

Only the first juice of the press is used. Fermented in mostly stainless steel with some 400L barrels. No malolactic fermentation.

Aging

Aged on the lees for 7 months in 87% stainless steel and 13% 400L barrels.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, mushroom risotto, or a croque monsieur. The extra breadth handles pork belly, duck rillettes and creamy washed-rind cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Apple, pear and white flowers with an herbal edge, plus brioche from extended lees aging. Broader and rounder in the mouth than a Chardonnay-based Champagne, with a fine mousse and firm acidity. Bone-dry, mineral and slightly savory on the finish.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
