Guiborat, Champagne Prohibition Meunier non-dose, 2022

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

Only 150 bottles per cuvée—that's it. The Fouquets make impossibly small-batch Champagne from 3 of their 8 hectares in the Côte des Blancs, and every bottle tastes like it took a decade to perfect. These are Blanc de Blancs with a mission: precision, purity, and the kind of tension that makes you actually think about what you're drinking. Gone in a heartbeat.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

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!
