JOHN GILMAN 90+ POINTS-The new release of Moussé Fils’ “l’Or de Eugène” Perpetuelle Blanc de Noirs is from the
base year of 2019, with fifty percent of the cuvée composed from the solera for this bottling
started in 2003. The wine’s cépages is eighty percent pinot meunier and twenty percent pinot
noir. The vins clairs were aged in stainless steel and the went through full malolactic
fermentation. It was disgorged on the last day of November of 2021 and finished with a dosage
of 3.4 grams per liter. The wine delivers a lovely aromatic constellation of white peach, freshbaked bread, chalky soil tones, raw almond, gentle smokiness and a lovely array of gentle
meunier floral tones redolent of lilac and lavender. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied
and nascently complex, with a lovely core, brisk acids, fine focus and grip, pinpoint bubbles and
a long, well-balanced and still fairly youthful finish. This is a good bottle that I would be
inclined to give another year or two in the cellar, just to let its acids relax a bit more and and for the
wine to fully blossom on the palate. It is loaded with pinot meunier goodness. 2024-2040."
