Score 90/100 · Drink 2023-2028, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, Jul 2024
The 2023 La Moussière is a rounded, airy wine with pure, clear fruit. It's finely textured with curved edges, both from time on lees (8 months) and a combination of aging in wood, concrete and stainless steel vessels. The pure fruit shines through with no evidence of oak flavor, allowing the pretty lemon, nettle and fresh pineapple characters to sing. Biodynamic since 1999, everything is hand-harvested.
