Cédric Moussé is the current proprietor, and the fourth-generation winemaker at the estate. Typical to the commune, of the 5.5 hectares of vineyards under the estate’s ownership, the majority are planted with Pinot Meunier (83%) and the rest with Pinot Noir (14%) and Chardonnay (3%). The production also include grapes from vineyards the estate does not own, but these are all farmed and worked by Cédric’s team, and the entire crop used in the estate’s wines benefit from the same viticultural treatment. Cédric places a strong emphasis on respecting the environment and working in a sustainable way, and a new winery completed in 2012 were designed with such objectives in mind. It features solar panels on the roof that power the winery and 2 houses on site, a ground couple heat exchanger that enables temperature control with geothermal energy, and the estate utilises underground spring water for all its needs. Lighter bottles are used to limit CO2 emission. The estate joined the Club Trésors de Champagne in 2005, and now produces two Spécial Club Champagnes that are the tête de cuvée of the estate, the 100% Pinot Meunier Spécial Club, and the 100% Pinot Meunier Spécial Club Rosé de Saignée. The Champagne Moussé Fils wines are typically rich and powerful with a ripe fruit profile, yet increasingly balanced and refined. While the wines, particularly the two Spécial Club Champagnes, can benefit from further ageing, they are ready to drink a year after disgorging. The Moussé Champagnes elevate Pinot Meunier from mere supporting cast to the star of the show.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-29T17:25:46-04:00","created_at":"2023-06-29T15:34:10-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK2906","Other_Wine","Producer_Champagne Mousse Fils","Region_Champagne","Source_Hedonism0623","Type_Sparkling Wine","Varietal_Pinot Meunier"],"price":38295,"price_min":38295,"price_max":38295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43018834673802,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Champagne Mousse Fils | Special Club Les Fortes de Terres Brut","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":38295,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_fa5ab310-893a-4a9c-b461-59970cd2002a.jpg?v=1688067355"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_fa5ab310-893a-4a9c-b461-59970cd2002a.jpg?v=1688067355","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Champagne Mousse Fils | Special Club Les Fortes de Terres Brut at CaskCartel.com","id":24737110556810,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_fa5ab310-893a-4a9c-b461-59970cd2002a.jpg?v=1688067355"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_fa5ab310-893a-4a9c-b461-59970cd2002a.jpg?v=1688067355","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eSparkling Wine: 2017 | Champagne Mousse Fils | Special Club Les Fortes de Terres Brut\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged for a minimum of 36 months, this is a full-bodied, complex champagne with notes of red fruits, brioche, and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Champagne Mousse Fils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pinot Meunier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Champagne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged for a minimum of 36 months, this is a full-bodied, complex champagne with notes of red fruits, brioche, and honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nThe Moussé family has been vine growers for generations, but settled in the commune of Cuisles in 1880, and started bottling under its own label in 1923.
