NV Mousse - Champagne Extra-Brut Rose Eugene (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]
Cédric Moussé is the 12th generation to run the family estate in Cuisles , in a small valley perpendicular to the Vallée de la Marne, grown on a unique schist subsoil under clay. He practices organic farming and makes wines that are precise, savory, and bright-fruited, with no oak influence — showing Meunier's pretty side: purity of fruit, white flowers, and subtle herbal tones.
The Rosé Eugène is crafted from 82% Meunier (a portion vinified as red wine) and Pinot Noir, drawn from a perpetual reserve stretching back to 2003. Saturated pink in the glass, it opens with preserved cherries, spice, quinine, orange peel, and toast — ripe and savory, with a lively, frothy mousse and an autumnal richness. Bold enough to stand up to BBQ and umami-rich cuisines, it carries ample structure beneath its fleshy, expressive fruit. Drink now through the next 4–6 years.
