Famille Mousse Eugene Extra Brut Champagne Non-vintage 750ml
DescriptionEugene from Famille Mousse represents the cutting edge of natural champagne production, where minimal intervention meets maximum expression. This Extra Brut showcases their philosophy perfectly - organic farming, native yeasts, zero dosage, and minimal sulfur create a champagne of remarkable purity and vitality. The blend emphasizes old-vine Pinot Meunier from their home village of Cuisles, creating a wine that speaks clearly of its origins. This is champagne stripped down to its essence, revealing what's possible when nature is allowed to express itself fully.
Eugene immediately distinguishes itself from conventional champagne. The nose is vibrant and alive - fresh apple, citrus, and white flowers mingle with more unusual notes of herbs, wet stones, and even a subtle funkiness that natural wine enthusiasts will recognize. There's an energy here that's almost palpable. On the palate, the Extra Brut style allows every element to shine with crystal clarity. The texture is precise and electric, with incredibly fine bubbles that seem to dance on the tongue. Flavors are pure and focused - green apple, lemon, and chalk dominate, with undertones of fresh herbs and sea salt. The zero dosage means the finish is bone dry and mineral, with a refreshing salinity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. This is champagne for the new generation - uncompromising, authentic, and absolutely delicious. A revelation for those willing to expand their definition of what champagne can be.
