92+ Blending three lieux-dits and three grape varieties—Les Couturelles (Pinot Meunier), Les Fosselles (Pinot Noir) and Les Fontenelles (Chardonnay)—Minière’s latest NV Brut Influence is based on the 2020 vintage with 22% reserve wines from 2019. Disgorged with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter in September 2024, this wine offers a vibrant bouquet of sweet citrus fruits, apricot, yellow apple and a hint of coconut. Full-bodied and more powerful than both Brut Zéro and Blanc Absolu, it features a layered mid-palate, a generous core of fruit and tangy acidity, concluding with a long, mineral finish.

Toasty brioche, grilled nut and warm spice accents are brightened by vibrant acidity and aromas and flavors of white cherry, lime peel, stargazer lily and blood orange sorbet. There’s a buoyant feel to this well-meshed Champagne, with a finely detailed, creamy mousse. Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
