Moussé Fils
L'or D'eugene Blanc de Noirs
Champagne, France
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.
