This is the entry point to Domaine Méa's range, and it comes with a real advantage: a Pinot Noir solera the family started in 2014, a perpetual reserve where, in their words, the young wines are "educated" by the older ones. The house recipe draws a significant reserve from that solera, which gives a non-vintage Champagne the kind of depth you don't usually get at the first rung of a grower's lineup. L'Assemblage is roughly 70% Pinot Noir for power and 30% Chardonnay for freshness, all from the family's Premier and Grand Cru parcels on the Montagne de Reims. Historically, fruit from these vines went to houses like Pol Roger, Roederer and Gosset. Now Sophie Méa bottles it herself with her husband Franck Moussié, who came to Champagne from Bordeaux. She's the fifth generation in a line that went from father to son, then father to daughter, then mother to daughter. Home base is Louvois, a Grand Cru village named for the wolves ("loup") that once came down from the forests above and through the vines. Dosage isn't fixed here: the family adjusts it every year to suit the blend and the harvest. It's honest, Pinot-driven grower Champagne, and an easy way into a family estate worth knowing.

More about

Husband-and-wife team Franck Moussie and Sophie Mea are making some absolutely delicious Champagnes at her family’s Domaine Mea. Recently Franck took a group of us to the top of a slope on the Montagne de Reims to taste their delightful wines. We were above the village of Montbré, standing on crumbled rocks with dramatic views over the vines to the valley below.

Frank started us out with his Grillon bottling, which he calls his “aérien” wine – his airy, ethereal, maybe even delicate, bottling. And at first that’s what it seems like: the perfect wine for an aperitif or a toast, defined by subtle fruit hinting at flowers and smoke, and a palate of bright pleasure and fine bubbles.

But “aérien” also means “soaring” (French can be a funny language) and sure enough, the Grillon started to expand, showing saline-rich, mineral depths that seemed to be a direct expression of the soils we were standing on, and a persistence that had a grandeur like the gorgeous views over the valley.

Tasting Profile

Expect a Pinot Noir-led Montagne de Reims Champagne: red apple, pear and a hint of red berry, with the brioche and nutty depth a perpetual reserve typically brings. It is typically fuller-bodied than Chardonnay-led styles, with fine bubbles, fresh acidity from the Chardonnay and a dry, clean finish.
