Expression Noir 2019
Météyer | Extra Brut | Vintage 2019
The Expression Noir (2019) from Météyer is an excellent companion to a classic Carbonara.
Guanciale, egg, Pecorino, heat – a dish that forgives nothing. And this is exactly where the champagne is perfectly positioned.
The acidity keeps the fat in check, the perlage provides the necessary structure on the palate. This wine keeps everything in motion and makes this pairing so harmonious.
A champagne that works excellently as part of the meal.
Météyer works deliberately quietly – focused with Pinot Noir from the Vallée de la Marne, specifically from Trélou-sur-Marne. Not a large house, but a very precise understanding of structure and balance. The Expression Noir is not a gimmick, but reflects exactly that, fitting to the grape variety.
The Pinot Noir brings substance, but no heaviness. Everything feels grounded, calm, very controlled. No oxidative effect – rather a linear, supporting structure that slowly unfolds.
Tasting Notes
A structured Blanc de Noirs with substance without heaviness, grounded and controlled. Linear, supporting structure without oxidative notes, slowly unfolding.
