Cattier ‘Clos du Moulin’ Premier Cru Brut Champagne

Description

Cattier is perhaps best-known for creating one of the world’s most expensive Champagnes – Armand de Brigac, also known as Ace of Spades. But the lesser-known Clos du Moulin deserves equal attention. A clos is a walled vineyard. Only a handful of Champagne houses – notably Krug – own one. To make Clos du Moulin, three vintages are carefully selected for their ability to age gracefully. After 8 years maturing in the cellar, the resulting wine reflects the unique origin of the grapes. It’s rich and generous with endless notes of citrus, orchard fruits, melon, ripe red berries and frangipane. Hints of caramel and spice add to its long finish. It’s dry and beautifully balanced by its complex aromas. Delicious with wild mushroom risotto.
