This is a rosé Champagne made the slower way. Rather than tinting a white base with a splash of still red wine, Moutard leaves its Pinot Noir on the skins for four days in wooden vats to draw out the colour. That's the "cuvaison" in the name, and fermentation is stopped at a set density to keep the fruit intact. The grapes are all Pinot Noir, grown on clay-limestone in the villages of Buxeuil and Polisy in the Côte des Bar, Champagne's southern reach, about 200 km southeast of Paris. The family's ancestors first planted vines on the Buxeuil hillsides in 1642. François, Agnès and Véronique now run the house alongside another generation. Moutard is technically registered as a négociant, but 85% of its fruit comes from its own vineyards. This rosé is one of the two wines that make up most of what the house produces, and it still gets at least three years in the cellar before release. That's real Champagne patience without the big-name markup, and it's why we count Moutard among the region's best values.

Antonio Galloni

"Comprised of 100% Pinot Noir (70% from the 2021 base vintage), The NV Brut Rosé de Cuvaison is airy and nicely lifted. There's pleasing nuance here, but the Rosé feels a bit light and fleeting. Sweet dried cherry, cedar and pipe tobacco linger. Dosage is 10 grams per liter." —Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

"Ripe raspberry, cherry, graphite and blood orange notes leap from the glass, riding a satiny bead and married to mouthwatering acidity on the palate. Bright and expressive, with a chalky, lingering finish. Drink now through 2020."

Biodynamic

Practicing

Vineyard

Sourced from massale selection vines 35-40 years in age from a single parcel located in Polisot (Cote des Bar). The fruit for Resonance comes from the top of the slope where there is little topsoil.

Orientation

East/Southeast exposure

Soil

Clay and Kimmerdigian Limestone bands similar to those found in Chablis. The Cotes des Bar is closer in proximity to Chablis than to Epernay.

Viticulture

Farmed biodynamically and hand harvested

Vinification

Fermented in stainless steel using native yeasts for both fermentations.

Aging

24-30 months sur lattel; Dosage 0 g/L; Disgorgement April 2025

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared duck breast with a cherry glaze; grilled salmon or tuna tartare; jamón and saucisson with aged Comté; roast chicken with herbes de Provence; mushroom and Gruyère tart.

Tasting Profile

Expect a deeper-hued, more vinous rosé Champagne than the pale blended norm: ripe strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, with a hint of brioche from its long cellar ageing. Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar typically gives a rounder, fuller body, while fine bubbles and fresh acidity keep it lively through a dry, red-fruited finish.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
