Surprisingly tight - better once it warmed up to 60 degrees F.

92+ all day long for me. This was served as my starter for my annual WWC hosting. Typical format of sparkler, three whites, four reds, one dessert, all served blind.
A true favorite at the price point. 80/20 meunièr/Pinot noir. 2003-2019 perpetual reserve, disgorged early 2021. 3g/l dosage. I find meunièr is expressed best when the fruit is ripe and/or when used in a perpetual or solera method. The fruit forward nature of meunièr can handle the rich/advanced profile when paired with low dosage. Spiced apple, cider, red berry fruit. Great mousse. Chalky and classical but not sharp or abrasive.
These can hold post disgorgement a good while, but personally, I think meunièr is accessible early. — 2 years ago
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! 🥂

Very herbaceous on the nose, along with the classic rich brioche aromas. Rich on the palate with notes of almonds, delicate bubbles, and absolutely delicious! Happy New Year 2026!! 🥂🍾 — a month ago
