The label tells the story behind this one-time ever wine. In 2021, frost devastated the Mousse family’s vineyards. Facing an entire lost village, the family’s friends – top growers from across the region – banded together and each sold Mousse some of their own much depleted Chardonnay crops. The 11 growers are represented on the front label and you can see their names on the back.
The resulting wine is a triumph in every way. As Vinous says in the 91 point review, “The NV L'Orage (2021 base) is 100% Chardonnay. Nervy and taut in the glass, L'Orage certainly has a lot to offer. Chalk, white pepper and slate play off citrus fruit in a Blanc de Blancs that offers quite a bit of energy, but with the volume to back it up as well. Texturally, this feels almost like a Champagne from red grapes. Dosage is 1.5 g/l.”
For You If: You love the flavors of Blanc de Blancs and rounder, more deep, texture of a Blanc de Noirs.
Not For You If: You’re after the influence of wood or a lot of richness – this is done all in steel and is more taut and focused than rich/broad.
