'Cœur' isn't just branding here: this is a tighter, more selective cut of the vineyard than Le Mesnil's standard cuvées.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark gold in the glass, with a fine, persistent rather than aggressive bead. The nose goes straight to viennoiserie — candied lemon, honey, brioche. On the palate the attack is direct without excess, minerality present but never blunt: unmistakably mature Chardonnay, expressive without tipping into exuberance. No malolactic fermentation keeps the wine's structure intact over time, with the dosage there to polish rather than sweeten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tirage in 2013, aged on lees for roughly twelve years before disgorgement in June 2025, with no malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine's long-term structure. Dosage sits at 7.8g\/L. Bottled here in 1.5L magnum, which slows the wine's ageing curve — fitting for a cuvée that just took Grand Or with the Palme d'Or at the 2026 Vinalies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Le Mesnil is the trading name of the Union des Propriétaires Récoltants, a growers' cooperative founded in 1937 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Today it draws on roughly 600 growers farming around 300 hectares — 100% of it now classified Grand Cru. For decades the cooperative has quietly supplied base wines to some of Champagne's most prestigious houses, including Krug, Moët \u0026amp; Chandon, Veuve Clicquot and Taittinger, while also bottling its own cuvées under the Le Mesnil name since the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Le Mesnil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205272272994,"sku":null,"price":525.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Mesnil-Coeur2012.png?v=1786720215","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/champagne-le-mesnil-coeur-de-mesnil-grand-cru-millesime-2012-1-5l-magnum","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
