Famile Moussé

Famille Mousse Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut 'Eugene' Champagne

$87.99

80% Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir, no dosage

All black grapes in this cuvee (Pinot Noir and Meunier) and grown in clay soils that produce a deep, luscious Champagne that’s great for every occasion. Zero dosage. ★★★ FR

The dark, dusky fruit and bit of nice funque (Meunier) makes this a really complex, nicely bodied bubble that punched over its weight. Quite classy. ★★★ JR

Wine Advocate, 94 points: Deep and complex, it unwinds to reveal aromas of pear, honeycomb, fresh pastry, paraffin wax and confit citrus, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's seamless and concentrated, girdled by lively acids and complemented by a saline finish. 

Jeb Dunnuck, 92 points: Made from 80% Meunier and the rest Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Blanc De Noirs Eugene is a perpetual reserve blend spanning from 2002 to 2021. It pours a rich golden straw color and offers a commanding presence in its notes of graham cracker spice, orange peel, ginger, and wild cherry. Pillowy and rounded, the palate is supple and juicy with red fruit and a saline lift off the finish. This beautiful wine is singing now, and it should hold up nicely over the coming 8-10 years.
