Pinot Meunier Zéro Dosage NV

The Charpentier family has been farming in Champagne for eight generations and for a long time they have been selling their grapes to a cooperative, but in 2006 they began fermenting and selling grapes from their own vineyards. The father of Jean-Marc Charpentier, who currently manages the domaine, was an agricultural engineer and head of a winemaking and viticulture school, where he trained many wine growers. Jean-Marc himself studied at his father's school, and after graduating in 1988 he learned the know-how of grape cultivation from his grandparents, who work as wine growers. The first thing he did after going independent was to vinify grapes on individual plots, which allowed him to accurately express the individual characteristics of each different terroir.
