Guy Méa Le Grillon Cuvée Prestige Premier Cru NV Champagne Fortified cocoa nibsGuy Mea is based in the Montagne de Reims with 7 hectares of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards looked after by Guy Meas granddaughter Sophie and her husband. They not only produce their own wines but also sell their wines to Pol Roger, Roederer and Gosset. Le Grillon is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. It still has the lovely concentration of the Cuvee la Tradition but with more elegant orchard fruits and a hint of brioche.
