About
A grower-producer based in Reuil, a village in the Vallée de la Marne west of Épernay. Pessenet works primarily with Pinot Meunier — the dominant grape of the Marne Valley — producing wines that are immediately expressive, fruit-forward and generous. The Marne Valley style contrasts sharply with the mineral austerity of the Côte des Blancs, offering rounder, more approachable Champagnes with bright red-fruit character and notable early-drinking appeal.
From the House
Our Brut Rosé NV has been updated with the 2021 base vintage. Pinot Meunier from Reuil and Vandières gives this wine its characteristic red-fruit vivacity — strawberry, raspberry and a soft floral note that makes it one of the most approachable rosés in our range.
A glass of our Brut NV with a planche de charcuterie is one of life's simple pleasures. The Meunier-driven generosity of the wine works perfectly with rillettes, pâté de campagne and cornichons — approachable, vivacious and entirely without pretension.
The Marne Valley is Pinot Meunier country, and 2023 was a superb Meunier vintage. The variety's natural early ripening was an advantage in a year when late-season rains threatened quality in slower-ripening parcels. Our Reuil Meunier was harvested in excellent condition on 8 September.
