Champagne Romain Henin La Bulle Libre “Meunier tu dors” 2022
The cuvée's name draws inspiration from an old French nursery rhyme. Meunier Tu Dors 2022 is a singular Champagne, a one-time creation that will never be reproduced. It also marks Romain's first zero-dosage release under his new domaine name: La Bulle Libre. This wine originates from a parcel of vines over 50 years old, nestled in the heart of Aÿ's limestone hillsides. After aging on the lees for one year, this 100% Meunier Champagne unveils aromas of ripe yellow plum, fresh brioche, quince paste, and a distinct smoky, chalky note. The mousse is fine and persistent, leading to a finish marked by zesty lemon and a pronounced minerality that beautifully showcases the often-underestimated elegance of Meunier.
此酒款的名稱靈感源自一首古老的法國童謠。Meunier Tu Dors 2022是一款獨一無二、不再復刻的香檳。它同時標誌著釀酒師Romain在其新酒莊名號「La Bulle Libre」下，首次推出的零添糖（零 dosage）香檳。這款佳釀來自豪於艾伊（Aÿ）石灰岩坡地中心、樹齡超過50年的單一老藤地塊。在酒窖中歷經一年的酒泥陳年後，這款100% 莫尼耶皮諾（Meunier）香檳展現出成熟黃李、新鮮布里歐許、榲桲果醬以及獨特的煙燻白堊氣息。氣泡精緻而持久，餘韻帶有清新的檸檬風味與鮮明的礦物感，完美襯托出莫尼耶皮諾時常被忽視的細膩特質。

“Meunier tu dors” (“Miller, Are You Sleeping?”) – a poetic wink to French folklore and the unsung elegance of Pinot Meunier
Founded under the visionary La Bulle Libre ("The Free Bubble") initiative by Domaine Hénin, this cuvée marks a bold milestone: the estate's inaugural zero-sulfur, zero-dosage Champagne. As one of two flagship 2022 releases, it represents the pinnacle of Hénin's evolution—microscopic yields from biodynamically farmed old vines, capturing the chalky intensity of Aÿ in its most liberated form yet. The name playfully reimagines the beloved French nursery rhyme while honoring Pinot Meunier—historically a blending grape—now celebrated solo. Sourced exclusively from a micro-parcel of 50+ year-old vines rooted in the chalk-rich, south-facing slopes of Aÿ Grand Cru in France's Champagne region, this wine embodies biodynamic philosophy and radical minimalism. Aÿ, revered for its limestone soils and historical prestige, offers the perfect terroir for Meunier to express depth, texture, and crystalline minerality. These are the bottles that have insiders buzzing—prized not only for their scarcity but for how they redefine "natural" Champagne: no funky distractions, just laser-focused energy and chalk-mineral drive.
Winemaking: Crafted from 100% hand-harvested Pinot Meunier, the grapes undergo gentle gravity pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in seasoned French oak barrels, and 12 months of aging sur lie. Bottled for traditional méthode champenoise secondary fermentation, it is disgorged brut nature—with absolutely no dosage, no added sulfur, and no filtration—preserving raw authenticity and vibrant terroir expression.
Tasting note: A luminous golden hue dances beneath a veil of ultra-fine, persistent bubbles. The nose unfolds with ripe yellow plum, warm brioche, quince paste, and a whisper of smoky chalk. On the palate, fleshy stone fruit meets electric acidity, wrapped in a creamy yet precise texture. The finish is long and invigorating—zesty Meyer lemon, wet river stone, and saline minerality converge to reveal Pinot Meunier’s hidden finesse and the soul of Aÿ’s chalky slopes.
