Chamery blanc Petit Meslier 2015 (50 cl)

When Émilien Feneuil took over his parents' farm in 2006, conventional farming was the norm. That is, until he began exploring organic farming and biodynamic practices. Feneuil now works with organic certification, makes his own preparations, and encourages as much biodiversity as possible. He goes further than many others in this regard: nut and fruit trees also grow among his vines.
The small 2.5-hectare vineyard near Sermiers, in the Montagne de Reims, is planted primarily with Meunier, supplemented with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and a grape rarely found in Champagne: Petit Meslier. Initially, Feneuil sold all his fruit, but it wasn't until 2015 that he began producing champagne. Initially, he worked in the cellars of winemakers he knew. For the 2020 harvest, he purchased his first wine press and is currently improving his winery.
In the cellar, Feneuil allows the must to ferment spontaneously and lets the wines rest for about a year before bottling them for a second fermentation. Using minimal sulfites and low dosages, Feneuil creates captivating, expressive champagnes.

He also produces still wines, côteaux champenois.

We recommend opening Emilien wines at least 30 minutes before tasting to allow them to fully develop.
