Mousse Fils 'Special Club' Brut, Champagne, France 2017 Weingut Darting Juicy dark-fruit and spice flavors

Juicy dark-fruit and spice flavors lead to a long

nervy acidity

It is softened by aromas of candied fruit

Then a blast of pepper aroma comes through on the concentrated and focused palate

It can almost be drunk now

Mousse Fils 'Special Club' Brut, Champagne, France 2017 Weingut Darting Juicy dark-fruit and spice flavorsMade from 100% Meunier, the 2017 Champagne Special Club Brut has a delicate approach, with its layers unfolding gently from the glass. Initially it displays notes of wet stone, pretty flowers, and delicate fresh raspberry fruits. The palate has more tension and nerve that suggests this will take more time to open, but I love its racier feel. It is linear, though not without its fruit wrapped around its backbone of minerality and acidity. 95 Pts Jeb
