TASTING NOTES
90pts - Vinous
"Moutard’s NV Brut Grande Cuvée, 100% Pinot Noir, is rich, creamy and inviting. Brioche, pastry, spice and baked pear all flesh out in a pretty, easygoing Champagne that will drink well right out of the gate. The 10 grams of dosage is a bit on the high side, but it works well here just the same. This release is based on 2016, with 30% reserve wines."

"The new release of Moutard’s Grand Cuvée non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2014 and was disgorged in September of 2019. The wine is its customary one hundred percent pinot noir and was finished with a dosage of ten grams per liter. It offers up a pure and complex bouquet of apple, white peach, bread dough, a fine base of chalky soil and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and nicely soil-driven, with a lovely core, elegant mousse and a long, complex and very well-balanced finish. Once again, this is first class non-vintage Brut."
