The 2022 comes from a singular enclosed parcel in Trigny, in the Massif de Saint-Thierry north of Reims, where Pinot Noir is planted on sandy, limestone-influenced soils within a true forest environment. Cuillier treats the site almost as an ecosystem rather than a conventional vineyard, working with agroforestry, living soils and minimal intervention to preserve as much of the vineyard’s identity as possible. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts, raised for roughly 10 months in seasoned 500-liter barrels on its fine lees, then spends about 36 months on the lees in bottle before disgorgement with zero dosage. The result is a remarkably distinctive Blanc de Pinot Noir, with red currant, raspberry and citrus peel layered with white fruit, dried flowers, spice, chalk and a subtle smoky, forest-floor complexity. There is incredible Pinot Noir depth and texture here, but the sandy soils and Brut Nature finish give the wine tremendous lift, salinity and energy. While we know many people have shied away from Pinot-based Champagnes over the years, this is one worth a look. A big note from Galloni: this is a serious, highly individual Grower Champagne from one of the region’s most dynamic young vignerons, and a fascinating bottle for anyone interested in the new generation pushing Champagne toward even greater vineyard expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAntonio Galloni 96 points! \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVincent Cuillier's 2022 Brut Nature Blanc de Pinot Noir Clos Forestier is magnificent. Bright, punchy and explosive, the 2022 offers a compelling mix of vibrant fruit and saline, mineral-drenched energy. This feels so alive, so full of life.
