"The 2019 Blanc de Blancs Les Musettes is terrific. Rich, powerful and intensely mineral, the 2019 Musettes embodies all the tension of Mesnil and the sheer breadth of vintage 2019. This is a rich, textured Champagne that will be at its finest at the dinner table. Lemon confit, marzipan, dried flowers, chalk and sage are all dialed up to the maximum. Brisk saline notes drive the intense, resonant finish. Superb. Dosage is 1 gram per liter. Disgorged: October 14, 2024."
