The Vallee de la Marne has never been thought of as the pinnacle of champagne vineyards, however, the Moussé family have been growing grapes there since 1750. While they started producing champagne in 1923, it wasn't until the current generation's management that the house has become a serious force in champagne.
“The quality here is extremely high across the board.”
Today, Cedric Moussé farms roughly 5.5 hectares, mostly planted to Meunier, largely centered around the village of Cuisles. In the cellar, Cedric employs stainless steel for fermentation to keeps the wines bright despite the power and fruit that Meunier can produce. The wines generally spend somewhere between two to four years on the lees prior to disgorgement and are bottled with a lower dosage. The quality here is extremely high across the board, but highlights include their “Anecdote.” Atypically based on chardonnay from a single vineyard called Varosses, the wine is a unique expression of Cedric’s approach: generous body and ripe fruit with restrained acidity. They also make an amazing “special club” bottling of Meunier (they were actually the first to do it). This wine has quickly become their most sought-after bottling, though the price is still very reasonable for the quality of wine produced.
