Mousse Perpetuelle L’Or d’Eugene Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne

Description

Robert Parker, Jr’s Wine Advocate: “A blend of 95% Pinot Meunier and 5% Pinot Noir drawn from a solera established in 2003, the latest rendition of Moussé’s NV Brut Blanc de Noirs L’Or d’Eugène was disgorged in June 2019 with four grams per liter dosage. Wafting from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, mirabelle plum, candied peel and fresh pastry, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a rich and sapid core of fruit, lively acids and a delicate pinpoint mousse.” Apr 2020Winery: “A grower since 1750, Champagne Moussé sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Vallee de la Marne. This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil under clay. While pinot Meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Moussé, Pinot Meunier is celebrated. 80% of the vines planted are Meunier, with the balance planted to pinot noir and chardonnay.”Bottle750ml, cork Varietal95% Meunier, 5% Pinot NoirAlcohol 12%Aging24 months on the leesRegionChampagne, France
