...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. Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The nose reveals; bruised red, golden & hints green apple, pear, dried pineapple, coconut shavings, cream, pie crust, vanillin, touch yeastiness, sea spray, fine chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, soft white spice, camomile, spring flowers & jasmine. Mousse is in the name for a reason. The mouthfeel is the first thing that grabs you. Cotton mousse presence. The body is full. Bruised red, golden & hints green apple, pear. dried pineapple, coconut shaving, cream, pie crust, graham crackers, vanillin, touch yeastiness, sea spray, fine chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, strong sense of heat & bite on the white spice, camomile, spring flowers & jasmine. The acidity is round, crisp & lively. The finish is smartly polished;rich, lush, nicely knitted & balanced and long sets in endless grippy minerality & spice. This will benefit nicely with another 2-5 years in bottle.

A Blanc de Noir bottle from @champagnemoussefils in the region of Vallée de la Marne. This producer has been making wine since 1923. The bottle is 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. It is made from reserve wines from 10 different years. Note: Pinot Meunier is one of those grapes that often doesn’t take seriously by producers in Champagne. However, Mousse Fils is killing it. Really great bottle! Cheers!
