June 17, 2023 - Started out a bit pedestrian but got way better with air and really reached a great apex after a couple hours open. Slightly beat out the Rose next to it.

February 6, 2022 - I didn't jot down the disgorge date but I believe it was May 2016. This is my final bottle of Mousse Special Club in my cellar, actually my final Special Club bottle of any kind. I just dislike these bottles because I cannot store them so I have been working to drink them all, I am finally done. As for the wine, this is aging nicely. 10 years old, maybe a little bronze and a touch of oxidation but balanced well with good energy and flavor. If you have this vintage, no rush to drink these.

July 30, 2021 - My favorite of the three Moussé Fils bottles we opened. Moderately oxidative: less than the NV, much more than the 2014 SC saignée. Some brioche and earthy mushroom notes, explosive watermelon starburst candy. I love it.

October 14, 2018 - What can I say about this very unique 100% Meunier except Wow!! Gorgeous nose of mixed berries and Meunier fruit, nice chalky seam and minerals to boot. Really enjoyed by Eckler's and us at Churchills with oysters, ceviche and ancient grain spread to start a fabulous meal!!
