2019 Alexandre Le Brun "Cuvée Revelation" Brut Champagne
This 2019 is an example of just how great, just how noble Meunier can be in the right soil, with the right vine age and the right hands making the wine. This is a wonderful follow up to the fabulous 2014 and has an incredible bouquet of toasty aromas that are somewhere between brioche and panettone framed by subtle pear fruit. In the mouth the wine has toasty nuts and tarte tatin flavors that give way to a fresh, mineral driven finish. This champagne has it all! Many of the champenois rate 2019 as the best vintage since 2008, and this example definitely shows off the class of this top vintage.

Notes
This Champagne comes from a very special plot in Monthelon, just behind the Le Brun house on a southeast facing slope. It is entirely Meunier, half of which was planted in 1952 and the other half in 1902; the oldest living vines that I have seen in Champagne. The village of Monthelon is in the Côteaux de Sud Épernay, one of the coldest microclimates in Champagne, and that cold climate, in tandem with these ancient vines, has given us a truly epic wine. Alex’s craft has added to this — he uses a combination of small oak and large foudres for this wine along with a very long, slow fermentation like at Billecart-Salmon. -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer
