Moussé Fils - L'Anecdote 2019

100% CHARDONNAY

0 G/L

CHARACTERISTICS, TERROIR AND SOILS
This vintage is made from a micro-vinification of Chardonnay from 2 localities, which have in common their deep roots in green clay and their presence on a Meunier terroir.

• Place called “Les Varosses”, in Cuisles
• Place called “Les Terres Rouges”, in Jonquery

In the Champagne world, the name "Les Varosses" is often used to characterize a place where the grapes are not of great quality. 25 years ago, we realized that this place had very deep soils, unlike the rest of the Cuisles hillside: 1.60m compared to 0.60m on the rest of the terroir. This is why we decided to plant Chardonnay there, which thrives on deep soils.

The similar atypical history of the lieu-dit “Les Terres Rouges” in Jonquery allows us to produce this unique wine, especially since there had never been 100% Chardonnay in Cuisles before.

The year 2019: start of the harvest on September 17, 2019, a year in Champagne standards which will mark history by the quality of the wines.
