" I am blown away. Richard Fouquet works Pinot Meunier with the same precision as his Chardonnay. The result: a stunner; its slightly pinkish reflections immediately invite us on an extraordinary sensory journey: white flowers, pink grapefruit, and redcurrant, expertly balanced, are carried by a fresh and mouth-watering palate. Beautifully crafted! "
