Description
André Heucq began the family run domaine in 1936—now the fourth generation continues their great grandfather’s legacy. André, the third generation and current chef de cave, steered the domaine towards biodynamic practices with the estate certified since 2018, after having practiced them for many years prior.
The estate is located in Cuisles, in the Vallée de la Marne; an area very much home to Meunier. The Héritage Rosé de Meunier – Phase 2 comes from a single parcel of old vines within Cuisles, la Bout de la Ville. It is a blend of 70% Meunier, of which a portion is made into red wine and blended in, and 30% Chardonnay with fruit entirely from the 2014 vintage. The wine then spends 3 years on lees, before disgorgement. Phase 2 represents their ‘assemblage’ Rosé as opposed to Phase 1, which is their Rosé de Saignée expression. Production of the Héritage Rosé de Meunier – Phase 2 is incredibly limited, at only 1,300 bottles!
With the vigour of the fourth generation, the estate of André Heucq is one to keep your eyes on.
