Experience the Purity of Single-Vineyard Meunier: Vincent Cuillier’s Zero-Dosage Masterpiece

Discover L’Arbre Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs, a 100% Pinot Meunier Champagne that captures the essence of Vincent Cuillier’s historic family parcel in France’s prestigious Champagne region. Awarded 93 Points by Vinous for its remarkable 2020 vintage, this wine represents a profound commitment to terroir and sustainable viticulture.

Crafted exclusively as a zero-dosage vintage Champagne, L’Arbre delivers an electrifyingly pure expression of Meunier. Expect vibrant aromas of crushed river stones, crisp pear, and white pepper that leap from the glass – a signature of Cuillier’s revolutionary vitiforestry practices where biodiversity enhances complexity. On the palate, plump berry notes unfold with precision, balanced by racy acidity and profound mineral undertones that linger beautifully.

Fermented in stainless steel and aged for one year in tank before its extended bottle aging, this hand-disgorged cuvée reflects meticulous craftsmanship. At 12% alcohol, it offers remarkable structure for pairing with oysters, delicate seafood, or simply savoring as an aperitif.
