The 6 grapes of Champagne

6-cepage

This is the "back" label of the Cuvee des 6 Cepages from Champagne Moutard. I think it is another unique champagne from that house. Previously I had blogged about their Arbane Champagne, which is the only varietal wine made from Arbane in the whole world. This champagne made from all 6 permitted grapes must also be the only such champagne in the whole world. The only grape I have not tasted in this list is Petit Meslier and it was through trying this champagne that I finally tasted this grape. A nice golden yellow, with few streams of very fine bubbles, it has a sweet fruity acid nose. A noted acid prickle hits the tongue before giving way to a crisp palate, reinforced by an acid backbone persisting right to the finish.
