Description

Gamet is a rising star in the Vallée de la Marne, where Pinot Meunier thrives on the region’s clay-limestone soils. The family has been crafting expressive, terroir-driven Champagnes for four generations, with a focus on organic farming and minimal intervention. Rive Droite is a Blanc de Noirs cuvée made from 100% Pinot Meunier, sourced from vines planted in the 1950s on the right bank of the Marne River. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak, this wine is bottled with a low dosage to highlight its pure, fruit-forward expression.

The nose is vibrant and complex, revealing notes of red apple, pear skin, and citrus peel, interwoven with hints of white pepper and toasted hazelnut. The palate is broad and textured, yet lifted by Meunier’s signature acidity, offering layers of orchard fruit, wet stone, and a saline finish that lingers elegantly. The combination of bright energy and deep structure makes this a compelling expression of the variety.

*Rive Droite* is an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes, from charcuterie and roasted chicken to creamy cheeses like Brie de Meaux. Its balance of richness and freshness also makes it a standout aperitif Champagne, showcasing the depth of Pinot Meunier in its purest form.
