Pluie d'euphories Brut

See: Golden, with a full and lively mousse.

Smell: Small yellow fruits confirm the Meunier character, joined by quince and kernel notes that bring a surprising sense of ripeness, plus a hint of grenadine.

Taste: Full-bodied, fruity and delicate, with almond and kernel notes carrying through from the nose. The finish is generously fruity — crunchy yellow and red orchard fruit. Dosage at 4 g/L.

Pair: Fresh fruit salad or roasted pears au gratin, a small Italian charcuterie board or Swiss dried beef, or duck cottage pie.

Celebrate: For the day the weather turns and nobody minds — the impromptu, muddy-boots kind of celebration that ends up being the best one.

Jean-Marie Massonnot Champagne traces its roots back to the 1930s when Aimé Massonnot began making and selling his own Champagne in Coulommes-la-Montagne, a small village in Vallée de la Marne. Massonnot was passed from generation to generation, and in the ‘80s, Aimé’s grandson, Jean-Marie, ushered in the modern era of the domaine, drawing on the past while also looking toward the future. He took great care in preserving his father’s massal selections from the 1950s while also fully converting the pinot meunier-dominant estate to organic by 2021.

Today, the domaine is a multigeneration operation with Jean-Marie’s daughter, Camille, at the helm. Camille’s husband; her parents, Jean-Marie and Christel; and her brothers, Valentin and Victor, help however they can. Even Camille’s young children find small ways to lend a hand. In the vineyards, Camille continues her father’s commitment to thoughtful, harmonious, organic farming while also incorporating more modern growing and winemaking techniques of her own.

Always honing her winemaking style, Camille keeps human intervention to a minimum — no dosage, no sulfites, no filtration and slow aging on lees — allowing each cuvée to express its unique identity.
