Famille Moussé 'L'Esquisse' Extra Brut Champagne, France

TASTING NOTES

A remarkably fresh Champagne, this new wine from Moussé is majority Meunier with Pinot Noir rounding out the blend. The L’Esquisse is brimming with notes of orange zest, orchard fruits, red fruits like cherry or raspberry, and almond croissant come together in both the nose and palette to make a dangerously drinkable, pleasurable Champagne. Pair with dishes like watermelon and feta salad or a tinned fish board. -Importer's Notes

 

90pts - Wine Advocate

"Moussé's NV Blanc de Noirs L'Esquisse, based on the 2023 vintage and enhanced by 15% reserve wines, originates from the villages of Cuisles, Jonquery and Châtillon-sur-Marne. The cuvee comprises 60% organically farmed grapes, and 40% of the blend are tailles. Aromas of pear, peach, early-blooming white flowers and citrus zest waft from the glass, introducing a medium- to full-bodied palate that is fleshy and charming, with a generous core of fruit and tangy acidity."
