2019 Domaine Mea, Champagne, Cote des Noirs, Cuvee des Loups

Domaine Méa, deeply rooted in the Grand Cru village of Louvois within the Côte des Noirs, upholds a generational commitment to vineyard stewardship, farming without synthetic chemicals and moving towards certified organic practices. Their Cuvée des Loups is a focused expression of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, meticulously selected from prime Grand Cru parcels in Louvois and Bouzy. The challenging yet ultimately excellent 2019 vintage, marked by a warm growing season but balanced by sufficient soil moisture and cool nights, ensured optimal physiological ripeness while largely preserving essential acidity. Vinified with precision and aged a minimum of four years on lees, this particular vintage delivers a Champagne defined by a compelling structural balance of richness and vibrant tension.
