Bruyen & Macquart: Petite Dame Noire 2022

The Cuvée

The Petite Dame Noire from Bruyen & Macquart is a champagne with clear Meunier character, bold, dark and almost peppery-spicy, with citrusy tension and a structure that immediately demands attention. It shows best in a wide glass, which gives it the breadth it deserves: the typical Meunier grip remains, but feels fuller and creamier. A wine that reveals new facets with every glass change, so one for some patience and the right bowl.

In the broader glass it gives the wine exactly the breadth it deserves. The Meunier grip is still there, but it feels much fuller and creamier.
