Mousse Fils Description
A grower since 1750, Champagne Moussé sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Vallee de la Marne. This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil under clay. While pinot meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Moussé, pinot meunier is celebrated. 80% of the vines planted are meunier, with the balance planted to pinot noir and chardonnay.
FEATURES: This atypical Ratafia is elaborated with passion, in keeping with a secret family recipe from 1947 by Edmond Moussé, 2nd winemaker generation of our house.
This recipe was only passed down to his son, Jean-Marc, and his Grandson, Cédric. It belongs to the DNA of the house and provides a new opportunity to discover the Meunier.
ELABORATION: This 100% Meunier Ratafia is produced with our homemade Marc de Champagne, a liqueur made of Meunier wine only. Micro vinification of the final pressings – Fermentation of our Marc de Champagne in concrete tanks Double distillation of final pressing wines and Marc in the historic still of Cuisles
Mutage on the musts, Natural chilling – no filtration
Aged 24 months in barrels
Food pairing: This is marvelous to enjoy with friends, served with a good Maroilles cheese, topped with red fruits and some fresh local bread.
