Moutard Pere et Fils
Cuvée des 6 Cépages Brut Champagne
Champagne, France
Deep but bright orangey gold. Not much mousse to speak of, though that's likely a product of age (and less-than-desirable state store storage conditions). Likewise the somewhat weak bubbles. Biscuity quince and white stone fruit on the nose and palate. Still a firm backbone of acidity though, and that made it a great pair with "nouveau European" fare (trout almondine, fusilli carbonara). Would love to try it upon release.

Dried persimmon, dark rolls, browned butter, pepitas, white pepper, dried pineapple, tangerine, dried lemon peel aromas waft pungent from the antique golden nectar. Tangerine and itspith, Meyer lemon peel, baked apple, pineapple in lemon oil, lime zest and a touch of biscuit on a clean, if ridiculously complex finish boasting oceanic notes of brine and shell. #Champagne #bubbles #champagneandcaviar #champagnedreams #nationalcaviarday #moutard #6cepages #luxury #champagnetoujours

Seemed tired - liked the oxidative style with baked apple and marzipan notes - just not as alive as I'd expect

Amazing terroir and funk initially. A near-burnt apple bread, orchids, lilies, pine sap, mushrooms, and of course citrus nose. The palate offers creamy pear, eggshell, lemon custard, dried apricot, candied mango, toast and lemon zest, salty yellow plum, underripe strawberry-cherry-star fruit, this champagne has it all, from impeccable texture to unbridled complexity. Pithy, dry finish seals the deal!! #moutard #champagnemoutard #champagne #6cepages

Jul 19th, 2015Dark color that is reflected in the nose and on the palate. The aromas of dried lemon and lemon sourdough predominate, but there is also a snippet of lemon verbena and jackfruit, dried apricots, pumpkin, dried mango, dried papaya and a Flemish red beer streak! The lemon and beer notes are evocative of a brew room after cleanup, but a honey note in a spring grove plants you firmly outside. Plenty of sunshine here, and tangerines in a basket with fresh bread. Medium to heavy mouthfeel, and blood orange, grapefruit, lemon drops, grapefruit pith, limestone and a dried grass and chalky lemon pith finish that is exemplary. A writhing, evolving spectacle that boasts the intermittent Apple cider vinegar whisper without offense. Tannins abound, along with lemoncello custard.
