This champagne I hear is made using the “méthode saignée”. The color is a very deep pink even with slight purple reflections. Decent nose, with hints of red fruits. Very crisp and “brut” in mouth. Wonder how much residual sugar is in this champagne. Taste doesn’t last long but each sip leaves a sense of freshness in mouth. I am not sure why they recommend it with a roast as it to mind does not have enough body.

Very typical to Pinot Noir I am being told. Very dark in color. And a big, animal, feral rose going on here. At least on the nose. Some fiddle head ferns that have been roasted. Just stinky. And then really hard edged on the palate - at least compared to the rest of the Moutard line up. A powerful sense of Pinot, and maybe not in the most imbiber way. They reccomend serving it with roast beef.

Bright rosé colour. Persistent bead, good mousse. Drunk in Montrachet glass. Aromatics of strawberries, tangerines, raspberries, red cherries and dried leaves. Nicely balanced and nuanced with tart cherry and strawberry flavours, mandarin juice, poached salmon and some savoury elements. Below medium weight. Not overly sweet. A nice, straightforward Rosé Champagne.

Dry yet fruit forward. Prominent tart strawberry like one that has been picked a touch early. Excellent texture with the perfect amount of bubbles.
