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

2017 vintage. A bit of a curiosity as this 4 hectares vineyard is situated on an island in the Ciron river. After years of abandonment it was bought and restaured by the Lamothe family (Château Haut-bergeron). 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon blanc. More freshness compared to the 2016 vintage with ripe pineapple and flowers on the nose. Not especially profound but a very nice lightweight Sauternes with good acidity and good almondy length. Good value too at 23 EUR. — 5 years ago

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. — 3 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! 🥂

Bien conservé. Et il a gardé de sa superbe même s'il est légèrement passé. Tire un peu sur l'or. Bulles très fines.

Light in color and body for a grenache/syrah blend. A little young still. Still delicious and wonderful with goat cheese. — 10 years ago

Smells like puff pastry and powdered sugar and browned apple core, 3 days on a desk. Alltogether gorgeous aromamaxxing.
Rich, opulent, bracing acid, and a prick of sugar. — a month ago
