The Les Fortes Terres cuvée is the first 100% Meunier cuvée of the House, it comes 100% from the Terroir Cuisles (plots from the lieu-dit "Les Fortes Terres"). Cédric Moussé chose this terroir because during blind tastings, the champagnes from this lieu-dit stood out each year for their remarkable quality. The power and tension of this vintage champagne perfectly reflect the unique identity of this soil. The grapes come exclusively from the lieu-dit "Les Fortes Terres" in Cuisles. On this terroir, the steep slopes in the middle of the hillsides, shaped by centuries of erosion, create shallow soils where the green clay surfaces a few centimeters deep. This results in concentrated grapes with aromas of white fruits, dominated by white peach. The harvest is carried out manually in 15 kg market gardening crates to preserve the integrity of the bunches and limit self-pressing. The year 2018, marked by generally warm temperatures, produced grapes of exceptional maturity and concentration. Malolactic fermentation is carried out and micro-vinification in reduction is done in small stainless steel containers. The bottles are aged for 48 months, and after disgorging, this extra brut champagne, practically natural, is barely dosed at 0.5 g/L. The Les Fortes Terres cuvée by Cédric Moussé has a superb aging potential of at least 20 years and will pair perfectly with duck in all its forms. Serving temperature: 9°C.

THE BRAND
Champagne Moussé Fils is a family house steeped in history over several generations. It alone represents the quintessence of tradition, passion and craftsmanship of champagne. Initiated by François Moussé at the beginning of the 20th century, this company finds its nest in the heart of the village of Cuisles, in the heart of the prestigious Marne Valley in Champagne. The history of the Moussé family is intimately intertwined with that of Champagne. François Moussé, the founding patriarch, was a passionate winemaker who, guided by the family heritage, decided to launch into the production of champagne. Armed with determination and know-how, he planted the first vines and began to create champagnes renowned for their finesse and elegance. From generation to generation, the Moussé family has been able to pass on its precious knowledge and love of the land, while preserving traditional values, while adapting to the changing trends of the champagne market. Even today, the Moussé Fils house is in the hands of family members, who work with passion and dedication to perpetuate this unique wine heritage.
