Champagne Le Village Champagne Thomas Perseval

Made by a young grower shaping his family's vines in Chamery, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, this cuvée puts Pinot Meunier front and centre. The vines grow on gentle chalk and clay slopes, farmed with real care and picked by hand. Fermentation happens slowly, partly in old oak barrels, with no fuss and minimal dosage, so the fruit speaks for itself. Expect ripe orchard fruit, a hint of toasted brioche, and a chalky, mouth-watering finish that keeps you coming back. Pour it with roast chicken, soft cheeses, or simply on its own when you fancy something honest and lively.
