Eric Taillet, Bansionensi 2018, Champagne

A masterclass in what 100% Meunier champagne can be. For the best experience, we suggest avoiding flutes and enjoy this in a champagne tulip or white wine glass. Very limited production with only a few thousand bottles produced.

Intensely aromatic with floral and spicy notes, a burst of orchard fruit and yeasty undertones. Full bodied with ripe apples, a hint of caramel and depth that takes your senses on a journey of purity and precision.

A really good food wine, especially with crispy parmesan cheese, ceviche, or white fish and white meats.

Daniel Taillet founded the winery in 1956. Eric Taillet took over for his father in 1995 and represents the 4th generation of grower/producer. Eric's focus is on the Meunier grape. Meunier is Eric’s self-proclaimed; “Life, passion, and reason for being a winegrower.” With old-vine Meunier, Eric is in the process of organic certification — he actively modifies cultivation methods, the system of pruning, row spacing, and vine height in pursuit of the finest fruit. Eric established the Meunier Institute, and it is his old-vine cuttings that were selected to be cloned for local Champagne nurseries.
