Wednesday, January 3, 2024 - First experience with Mousse and this is the L’or d’Eugene perpetuelle blanc de noir. Disgorged 4/2022. 2.5g/l RS and same on the dosage. 2003-2020 reserve years. 80% meunier and 20% Pinot noir.

The wine is golden, with a tinge of rose, let’s call it rose gold. It has wonderful full aromas of pastry, but not the overly sweet varieties. There’s a nice mix of red and yellow apples here too with some nuts and honey along for the ride. On the palette, the aromatics show up in full force, with some additions of red raspberry and strawberry that come in toward the finish. Acidity is medium plus here, and well balanced. Personally, I’d like a touch more to hit that extra high note, but it’s by no means lacking.

Really impressive entry level wine at a solid price. I’m a fan and will seek out more from Mousse.

Update: 2 hours in with air, this wine transformed into something even better. More terroir now, with a rocky, chalky thing that just smells like a wonderful place to relax and forget about it all. I LOVE the nose on this wine. Taking my score up two points for this unique terroir element that’s drawn me in big time.
