Clos du Moulin Brut 1er Cru

The Clos du Moulin is the flagship of Cattier and comes exclusively from a single plot, after which the cuvée is named. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay each contribute half. Every year three vintages are selected for quality and ageing potential and blended together. The cuvée ages for eight years in the cellar, with a dosage of 6 g/l. Each bottle is numbered, so the quantity stays correspondingly small.

In the glass the very fine perlage stands out. The nose is elegant, with citrus fruit, dried apricots and white chocolate. On the palate, fresh lemon sits alongside red fruit, and the finish closes with toasty notes. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass, where the aromas can unfold. At the table it goes with lamb, lobster or soft cheese, and it belongs on the table for special occasions.
