ratafia apeiron
Meunier
Our Ratafia traces its DNA back to the historic planted varieties in our family’s vineyard. The must and liquor used for distilling are elaborated out of a selection of our very best grapes and terroirs. The distillation process takes place at the estate.
• Geology and Terroir.
Ratafia’s specific identity has been brought about by the unique expression of each stratum of terroirs. The latter have been selected from the parcels of Troissy and Bouquigny.
When it comes to Meunier, we have chosen soils from the Ypresian age.
• Grape Variety: Meunier must.
• Organic Vine-growing
Organic certification since the 2023 harvest.
Total soil tilling since 2015. Implementation of bio-dynamic growing in 2016.
Weedkiller and synthetic substance free. Use of fermented extracts and plant infusions.
• Elaboration.
This spirit drink is obtained by adding the flavour of a vinous alcohol, produced in-house exclusively out of must.

• Pairing.
Pure, it is a powerful expression of its terroirs. On its own, combined with Pinot Noir or Chardonnay Ratafia, this Meunier Ratafia opens the way for an infinite variety of cocktails. And with gastronomy, it has found a wonderful playground of flavours, for example with foie gras and also soft and blue veined cheese.
