Notes:
- Producer: Franck Pascal is one of Champagne's pioneers of biodynamic farming. Based in Baslieux-sous-Châtillon in the Vallée de la Marne, the estate consists of approximately 7 hectares spread across dozens of small parcels. Franck and his wife Isabelle began converting the vineyards to biodynamics in 2002 and achieved certification in 2006. Today the estate is regarded as one of the benchmark biodynamic growers in Champagne.
- Vineyard & Blend: Harmonie Blanc de Noirs 2014 is produced primarily from old-vine Pinot Meunier, with small amounts of Pinot Noir depending on the release. The fruit is sourced from estate vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne, where clay, marl, and limestone soils favor Pinot Meunier. The 2014 vintage bottling is identified as a Blanc de Noirs and reflects the estate's focus on Meunier-driven Champagnes.
- Winemaking: Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old French oak barrels, the wine undergoes no fining or filtration and is produced with minimal intervention. The 2014 spent approximately 10 years aging on its lees before disgorgement in 2023. Finished as an Extra Brut with approximately 1-2 g/L dosage, the wine emphasizes texture, minerality, and vineyard expression rather than sweetness.
- Technical Details: Champagne AOC, Blanc de Noirs, primarily Pinot Meunier, 12% alcohol, biodynamically farmed fruit, indigenous yeast fermentation, oak vinification, approximately 10 years sur lie, Extra Brut dosage of roughly 1-2 g/L.
- Food Pairing: Lobster, scallops, roast chicken, pork loin, mushroom dishes, Comté, aged Gouda, and truffle preparations. The wine's combination of maturity, low dosage, and vinous structure makes it particularly effective with richer dishes and savory flavors.
