Champagne Les Moulins Champagne Doussot Bourdot

Crafted by a small family estate in the Côte des Bar, this cuvée shows just how much character the southern reaches of Champagne can deliver. The vines grow on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, the same soils that give the region's Pinot Noir its generous, fruit-forward personality. Expect ripe orchard fruit, a touch of brioche from patient ageing on lees, and a fine, persistent mousse that keeps everything lively. The winemaking stays gentle and precise, letting the terroir speak rather than the cellar. Pour it as an aperitif, or bring it to the table with roast poultry or soft cheeses. Genuinely lovely stuff.
