Terre d'Illite 2017

Terre d'Illite 2017 takes its name from the soil on which the Meunier of this cuvée grows. Moussé Fils combines 95% Pinot Meunier with 5% Pinot Noir. The result is a Blanc de Noirs with fine bubbles and a lasting mousse. The nose recalls distilled plums and mirabelles, that is, ripe stone fruit with an almost brandy-like depth.

On the palate it is very round and very long. More than four years in the cellar have given it time to develop. Serve it at 10 to 12 degrees in a white wine glass that gives the aromas room. At the table it goes with poultry, roast veal or mushroom dishes. It is at its best in good company, with time for a second glass.
