Antonio Galloni

"The NV Brut Blanc de Noirs L'Extra Or Perpetuelle Dégorgement Tardif is a 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir blend made with a perpetual reserve that goes back to 2003. Interestingly, the combination of extended time on the lees, the older vintages in the blend and zero dosage bring out notable freshness and vitality in the orchard fruit and floral notes. This is such a distinctive Champagne. Disgorged: May 10, 2017." —Antonio Galloni

"The latest release of Moussé's NV Extra-Brut L'Extra Or Dégorgement Tardif was disgorged in December 2017 with only one gram per liter dosage. It's based on the 2013 vintage, complemented by 50% of wine taken from a perpetual reserve that was started in 2003. The wine is showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of toasted brioche, ripe yellow orchard fruit, honeycomb, praline and woodsmoke . On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but incisive, displaying terrific depth and tension, a delicate low-pressure mousse and a long, sapid finish. This is a super, characterful Champagne that is well worth the effort to seek out." —Robert Parker

"Winter apple, speculoos, lovage, bread crust; extremely powerful, salted almonds, orange peel, stays super salty, piquant, extreme tension."

More about Mousse Fils

Pinot Meunier has always played "third fiddle" to Champagne's power couple, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Growers always liked having it around because it buds later than PN and Chard, which means it's less likely to be damaged by the late frosts that can hit Champagne so far north--especially in the Marne Valley. For growers it meant diversification.

For drinkers, on the other hand, it was an unglamorous variety that often came across as rustic or rough-edged. But that perception has been changing. Culty producers like Jerome Prevost and Raphael Bereche make highly sought-after Meunier-based wines. And even below the superstar level there's a whole generation of small growers who have started putting out really delicious Meunier-focused champagnes that don't break the bank.

Cedric Moussé is a classic example. When he took over the family estate in 2003 he was the 12th generation to run things. He practices organic farming and makes wines that are precise, savory, and bright-fruited, with no oak influence. They show Meunier's pretty side: purity of fruit, white flowers, subtle herbal tones, and they show its terroir transparency, with clear mineral signatures.
