Moussé Fils Tradition Rosé Brut - 2012 Base NV

Pale copper with a persistent, fine bead threaded throughout. 100% Pinot Meunier, an unusual commitment, and the grape's earthy character comes through clearly: dried strawberry, forest floor, a whisper of dried thyme and autumn leaves. Built on a 2012 base with reserve wines reaching back to 2003, there's genuine depth here that the delicate color doesn't advertise. Focused and distinctly itself.
