Blanc de Meunier is a Champagne category that barely exists on paper and matters enormously to those who love it. Meunier — long dismissed as the blending workhorse of the Marne — reveals a completely different face when vinified on its own: rounder, more aromatic, more immediately charming than Chardonnay, but with a complexity that sneaks up on you. Flavien Nowack's 'Autre Cru' is built on a 2022 base from Vandières and pushed to extra brut, a combination that keeps the grape's natural plushness in check and lets the terroir do the talking. A genuinely unusual and exciting bottle.

Fried chicken, pork belly with apple, mushroom tart, aged cheddar, duck confit

Creamy mousse. Red apple, pear, fresh brioche, subtle spice. Rounder and more aromatic than Chardonnay-led Champagne, with balancing acidity and a dry 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!
