Moussé Fils Champagne 'Perpetuelle Blanc de Noirs' L'Or d'Eugene Brut, N/V

Moussé Fils Champagne 'Perpetuelle Blanc de Noirs' L'Or d'Eugene Brut, N/V

Regular price $62.00

80% Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir from a Perpétuelle reserve system dating back to 2003. Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles and a luminous clarity. On the nose, expressive and vibrant. Aromas of red apple skin, ripe pear, lemon zest, and wild strawberry, underpinned by notes of toasted brioche, hazelnut, and chalky minerality. Hints of white flowers and subtle spice from extended lees aging. On the palate, dry and structured with elegant mousse. Rich Meunier fruit brings fleshy orchard fruit and berry notes, balanced by a core of vibrant acidity. The Pinot Noir adds backbone and a faint savory edge. A mineral-driven finish lingers with a touch of salinity and baked pastry. This wine is lovely and elegant, vinous, and terroir-driven—more gastronomic than aperitif in style. Pair with Duck rillettes or pâté en croûte or seared scallops. A roast chicken with herbs and lemon is also totally delicious.

Details

From Beloved Critic John Gilman: The Moussé Fils “l’Or d’Eugène” Perpetuelle Blanc de Noirs non-vintage Brut is composed as a fifty-fifty blend of the base year (in this case 2015) and the solera that the domaine set up in 2003 for this bottling. The cépages is eighty percent pinot meunier and twenty percent pinot noir, with the wine having been disgorged in December of 2018 and finished with a dosage of five grams per liter. The wine delivers a lovely and quite refined aromatic constellation of white peach, apple, patissière, chalky soil tones and a lovely topnote of gently musky, pinot meunier-derived floral tones. On the palate the wine is elegant, full-bodied, focused and very long, with fine mousse, excellent backend mineral drive, bright acids and excellent focus and grip on the complex finish. There is just a touch of youthful greenness on the finish here today that could be waited out with a bit of bottle age, but it did not dissuade me from enjoying the wine right out of the blocks. If this dollop of adolescence will deter you, just tuck this lovely wine away in the cellar for two years and then have at it!
