Monmousseau NV White (Crémant de Loire)

  • Editors' Choice
A ripe, complex wine, packed with great fruit and acidity. It is rich, almost opulent, made from Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. There is great acidity to finish this delicious wine. Imported by Alaska Distributors.  — R.V.  (6/1/2006)

Monmousseau NV Cuvée JM Chenin Blanc (Touraine)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
Named after the founder of the Monmousseau fortunes, Justin-Marcel Monmousseau, this may be labeled as nonvintage, but in effect it’s from the 2002 vintage. That gives it some good age, shown in the toasty character. But there is also good freshness, ripe apples and cream flavors and crisp acidity. Imported by Langdon Shiverick.  — R.V.  (6/1/2006)

Monmousseau NV Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

This is classic Chenin Blanc, with flavors of almonds and layers of acidity. It needs some bottle age—maybe 2–3 years.  — R.V.  (6/1/2006)
