Domaine Moutard NV Méthode Traditionnelle Brut Blanc de Blancs
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Méthode Traditionnelle is a traditional method of producing sparkling wine and is a labor-intensive process whereby the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation inside the bottle, creating bubbles.
- Grapes used for this wine are farmed and harvested from the area of Tonnerre, which is close to Chablis. The terroir is clay-limestone on Kimmeridgian soil.

Tasting Notes: It has a fine texture and a pleasant freshness. A fine froth marked by flowery notes and almond hints to the nose, in the mouth it stands out by the way the flavor remains for a long time and by the fresh ending enhanced by a remarkable structure in which can be found notes of lemon and grapefruit.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
All of you know the Moutard family well for their fantastic work in Champagne as a leading producer in the Cote des Bar. Several years ago the family purchased an existing domaine in Burgundy, where they are producing a bevy of interesting offerings, from Premier Cru Chablis, to singular bottlings from Tonnerre and Irancy, to Petillant Naturel.
