Champagne Famille Moussé – Meunier in its purest form, green clay as its signature
Based in Cuisles, in a valley running perpendicular to the Marne, Moussé Fils has been crafting an identity-driven Meunier since 1923, rooted in a unique terroir of green clay soils. The vineyards are spread across three villages but lie on a single south-facing hillside, expressing the full purity of this emblematic grape variety.
Winegrowers since 1629 and winemakers for four generations, the family deliberately steps back behind the terroir, seeking to let the soil and grape variety express themselves while keeping intervention to a minimum.
Since 2003, Cédric Moussé has taken a deeply sustainable approach to an exceptional level. In 2014, the estate abandoned synthetic pesticides, and from 2017 onwards, it began a revolution in the cellar: eliminating all oenological “masks” (dosage sugar, new oak, petrochemical-derived sulphur, etc.). The objective is clear: pure, taut and vibrant Meunier wines, driven by the energy of the place.
The entire estate is designed to reduce its carbon footprint and protect ecosystems:
Homemade compost moistened with recycled water; harvesting tools designed to limit oxidation and therefore minimise the use of sulphur; an eco-designed cellar with energy self-sufficiency and heating powered by uprooted vine wood; natural temperature regulation using a climate well and Champagne grape marc; natural treatments based on plants and essential oils without chemical weed control; horse-drawn vineyard work; 10 weather stations and lunar planting practices; lightweight bottles fitted with NDtech corks guaranteed to be free from cork taint.
Champagne Famille Moussé embodies living, visionary and deeply committed viticulture, where each cuvée is a vehicle for energy, truth and terroir.
