    “I Think There’s a Hole in My Glass”

    There’s no limit to what a half-bottle of Champagne can do—and that’s doubly true when it’s Moutard’s Rosé de Cuvaison.

    When we first tried this incredible pink bubbly nearly two years ago, we could not keep from draining our glasses, over and over. By year's end, the Moutard Rosé was one of our top-rated rosé Champagnes, and it’s been a staple of our online store ever since.

    There are so many ways to go through a cache of 375s of this bubbly. It’s a supreme picnic bottle—and we might have snuck a sample into the movies—with enough fruit to shine on its own, but the brightness to pair effortlessly with a meal. Pour it as an aperitif, or with a first course before you switch to a red. 

    The Moutard family has been farming in the Côte des Bar village of Buxeuil since the mid-17th century and has a long tradition of quality wine production. Moutard Père & Fils is now in its fourth generation as a company, run by eight family members who have trained as far afield as Great Britain, the US, China, New Zealand, Tasmania, and South Africa, bringing a cosmopolitan approach to wine production. 

    Pinot Noir is king in the fashionable Côte des Bar, a warm, southern subregion of Champagne that’s home to stars like Cédric Bouchard, Vouette et Sorbée, and Marie-Courtin. Here, vineyards rooted in clay-limestone soils checkered with Kimmeridgian bands lend themselves to rich, fruity Champagnes with a minerality that distinguishes them from those made in the chalkier subsoils of the Marne in the north.
