Olivier Horiot Champagne Brut Nature Metisses NV ['22 Base]
Metisses means hybrid, and the name nods to the unusual blend at its core: roughly 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Blanc from Les Riceys, vinified separately, then blended with reserve wine held in foudre under a perpetual solera system. This is the workhorse cuvee in Olivier Horiot's biodynamic lineup, but workhorse in the Horiot sense means vintage-quality fruit, native yeast, oak aging, and zero dosage. The '22 base brings a cool, mineral profile lifted by the Pinot Blanc's florality. A grower-Champagne for people who prefer texture over fizz.
