Sparkling wine | Bourgogne, France
Discover the elegance of the Famille Moutard Blanc de Blancs, a stellar sparkling wine crafted by one of the most respected names in the Côte des Bar. While the Moutard family is renowned for their exceptional Champagne, this particular expression showcases their mastery in the neighboring region of Burgundy. Produced using the Méthode Traditionnelle—the same labor-intensive process used to create prestige Champagne—this Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes harvested from clay-limestone soils near Tonnerre and Chablis.
Upon pouring, you are greeted by a brilliant, pale golden hue and a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet of delicate white flowers, zesty citrus, and a hint of almond, grounded by a distinctive, steely minerality that speaks to its unique terroir. On the palate, the wine is remarkably crisp and fresh. Bright flavors of green apple, lemon, and grapefruit dance across the tongue, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a creamy, refined texture that lingers through a clean, refreshing finish.
This wine is the quintessential choice for those who appreciate the style and precision of a high-quality sparkler without the Champagne price tag. It is an incredibly versatile partner for the table. Its zesty, mineral-driven profile makes it a perfect match for fresh shellfish, crab cakes, or lobster. It is also an excellent companion for sushi, soft cheeses, or even lightly fried appetizers. Whether you are hosting an elegant brunch or simply elevating a Tuesday evening, the Famille Moutard Blanc de Blancs offers a level of complexity and poise that consistently punches well above its weight. Treat yourself to a bottle that captures the harmony between tradition, family heritage, and the pure, fruit-forward expression of Chardonnay.
