Description
Cuvée Sous les Trous 2016 is the second vintage produced by Alexandre Grimée, a promising young winemaker. It's an astonishing cuvée, both in terms of its production and its personality.
This cuvée is made from Pinot Meunier grapes from a single plot, Sous les Trous, located in Bonneil. This plot faces due south, where the vines thrive in clay-limestone soil.
Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, and for this 2014 vintage, malolactic fermentation was carried out.
This is a confidential cuvée, with only 1661 bottles and 40 magnums produced.
Presentation of Alexandre Grimée
I make this cuvée by trying to capture the image of the year, and by seeking to preserve as much of the Pinot Meunier's freshness as possible. It's a micro-cuvée that reflects its vintage, but also all the nobility of Pinot Meunier.
Tasting
By Patrick BorrasRobe
Cuvée Sous les Trous 2016 by Alexandre Grimée has a golden color with brilliant highlights. Its bubbles are fine and discreet.
Nose
The nose is very fresh, with citrus notes. There's a great deal of finesse and complexity. On the second nose, more mineral notes appear, blending in with this lovely nose.
Palate
On the palate, the attack is full and suave, typical of Pinot Meunier. On the palate, a fine vinosity is discernible, punctuated by fresher citrus aromas that bring a fine balance and a very pleasant length on the palate. A smooth, delicate cuvée.
Service
I recommend this cuvée as an aperitif or with a seafood platter. It should be served between 8 and 9°C to fully appreciate it.
