The NV (2021) Mouvance is a blend of equal parts Meunier and Chardonnay from vines in Vrigny, Chenay and Gueux. Ample and creamy, the Mouvance possesses notable textural breadth and dimension, qualities that reveal themselves further with time in the glass. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together. I especially admire the wine's precision. No dosage. Disgorged: April 2, 2024.
