This is Extra Brut with a light touch. It's bone-dry and precise but also airy and easy to enjoy, so it doesn't feel like homework. It comes from Domaine Méa, formerly known as Guy Méa, a family estate in Louvois. That's a Grand Cru village on the southern side of the Montagne de Reims, and we count the estate among the area's rising stars. Five generations in, the house is run by a young couple who have pushed the style toward drier Champagne that's more about the vineyard. Le Grillon shows the result: very little sugar is added, so the fruit, chalk and salt are what you taste. If you like your Champagne crisp and saline rather than rich and toasty, this is your bottle. It's as happy with a dozen oysters as with a plate of chicken wings (yes, really).

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 Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters with mignonette, steamed littleneck clams, sea bass or fluke crudo with lemon and olive oil, a fresh goat cheese crottin, gougères as an aperitif, or salty fried chicken wings.

Tasting Profile

Green apple and mineral aromas with bright fruit. Light, airy body with fine bubbles and high acidity. Chalky minerality and a touch of salt lead into a dry, linear finish.
