* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With vineyards in the Côte des Bar, in the south of Champagne, the Moutard-Diligent family can trace its origins in the region back to the 17th century. This is a soft wine, a blanc de blancs (although only the back label indicates this). It is very ripe and creamy, benefiting from the warm conditions of the 1999 harvest, and just showing a touch of acidity to finish.

Here’s a real Champagne curiosity, wine made from six grape varieties. Apart from the usual three (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier), there are Pinot Blanc, Petite Meslier and Arbanne, a variety that is almost extinct. All are permitted under Champagne rules. The Arbanne gives a very floral character to the wine, which is attractive and unlike any Champagne you will ever drink. With such ripeness, it tastes like it came from Carneros, rather than Champagne.
