TN: Disappointing Bubbles (Moutard)
**N.V. Moutard Champagne Brut Grand Cuvee - France, Champagne
(12/31/2004) This was the house pour at an event I attended for New Years Eve. Clean, but fairly unexpressive nose, with bits of spritzy apple and maybe a little hint of nut. Hard to get anything more. Mousse seemed a little large in mouth, with wine's whole impact lacking cut. Flavors on palate were simple apple. If I hadn't seen the label, I might have guessed an Andersen or Green Valley sparkler, but one without the generosity of Roederer Estate or the cut of Iron Horse. Fine for toasting, but not a buy. I was disappointed, because I've been wanting to try the cuvee Arbane from Moutard. This wine, however, makes me think I should be looking somewhere else to satisfy my curiosity. Jim |
