Note di degustazione
Disgorged in November 2024 without dosage yet retaining over six grams per liter of residual sugar, Moussé’s NV Blanc de Noirs Eugène is a perpetual cuvée, composed of 50% wine from the 2022 vintage, with its origins tracing back to 2003. Comprising 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir—whose ripe skins impart a delicate pink hue—it unveils an expressive bouquet of candied orange peel, pear, peach, plum and pastry. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, rich and multidimensional, with a concentrated core of fruit, succulent yet racy acidity and phenolics that lend a gently bitter edge to the long, resonant finish. While the residual sugar lends it a touch more giving style, it represents a considerable step up in complexity from L’Esquisse and comes highly recommended.

The first wine in the range, the NV Champagne Blanc de Noirs L'Or d'Eugene Perpetuelle Brut is made from 80% Meunier and the remainder Pinot Noir and was fermented and aged in stainless steel. It is 50% from 2019 and the rest from a reserve spanning back to 2003. It is soft and pure, with pretty red fruited aromas of strawberry preserve, hay, and red flowers. This all moves seamlessly to the palate in an approachable way, with balanced dosage that makes this a fruit-forward and easy-drinking wine. The mousse fills the palate with a rounded feel and sweet red berries, and a hint of apricot on the finish. I like this as a fresh style for drinking as an aperitif or as a late-night treat. Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Drawing from a perpetual reserve spanning the 2003–2018 vintages, the new NV Brut Blanc de Noirs L'Or d'Eugène was disgorged in November 2020 with 0.5 grams per liter dosage. 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.
