2022 Adrien Renoir Les Vignes Goisses: Rare Grand Cru Meunier

The 2022 Adrien Renoir Les Vignes Goisses Verzy Grand Cru Extra Brut 750ml is an exceedingly scarce, single-vineyard Pinot Meunier.

In addition, the 2022 season provided optimal phenolic ripeness, yielding striking textural depth and vibrant natural acidity.

Estate History and Heritage

Adrien Renoir has gained international fame for challenging Champagne conventions through parcel-specific vinification. Specifically, his family has tended vines in Verzy for generations, but Adrien elevated the estate to elite biodynamic status. Moreover, his willingness to bottle single-variety Meunier from Grand Cru chalk showcases his daring vision.

Today, these micro-production bottlings are among the most hunted wines in the region. As a result, Les Vignes Goisses offers an unforgettable and historic perspective on the Meunier grape.
