Mousse Fils Les Fortes Terres Special Club 2018

92 pts Vinous (Galloni)The 2018 Brut Les Fortes Terres (100% Meunier) is a bold, explosive wine that shows a notably exuberant expression of Meunier. Ripe pear, spice, flowers and mint are nicely amplified. Even with minimal dosage (0.5 grams per liter), the 2018 is on the riper side. All this needs is more mid-palate persistence, but it is still very nicely done.

We chose this piece of terroir because each year, during blind tastings, the quality of the wines from this lieu-dit made an impact on everyone. The power and tension of this wine are expressing the identity of this unique soil.
