The Wines of Domaine Meá- A gem nestled in Louvois, a small Grand Cru vineyard in the Montagne de Reims that has historically played second chair to its more famous neighbors Bouzy and Ambonnay. That is, not so slowly, changing. That is almost entirely due to Sophie and Franck and their efforts in the vineyards and the cellar. Sophie took over as winemaker from her family becoming the fifth generation to farm the land and craft the wines. She farms her vineyards organically, listens to the rhythms of the year and expresses what mother nature and the terroir give her. It is, as you would expect from this part of the region, one of power but also finesse. The chalk is very present in the vineyards, lurking just below the thin layer of topsoil. It gives minerality and structure to the fruit. There is no mistaking the Grand Cru power and ripeness but it is wrapped in delicate fruit and deft winemaking that coaxes every drop of excitement out of the land and in to your glass. Domaine Meá is a rocket ship headed to the top, we are happy to share it with you now. You can tell all your friends you’ve been drinking it since all the way back in 2024… More info and Tech Sheets
