2018 Emilien Feneuil, Coteaux Champenois, Chamery Blanc, 'Les Puits' Petit Meslier

Emilien Feneuil farms his small estate in the village of Sermiers, where he has practiced organic and biodiversity-focused viticulture since taking over the family property in 2006. This still white wine comes from the Les Puits vineyard, a site defined by its sandy-clay soils and limestone bedrock, and is made from 100% Petit Meslier. In the glass, it offers a distinct profile of crisp orchard fruit, herbal undertones, and a persistent, saline minerality held together by a tightly wound texture. The 2018 vintage provided a favorable growing season that allowed this rare variety to reach full ripeness while maintaining its signature structural acidity. This is a singular, characterful bottle that remains stable and expressive, making it a rewarding choice for those looking to experience the depth of a still wine from the Montagne de Reims.
