Mousse Fils Les Fortes Terres Brut 2022 750ml

Product Info

A remarkable single-vineyard Champagne from Cédric Moussé, one of the Vallée de la Marne's most accomplished grower-producers and a leading champion of Pinot Meunier.

Produced exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier grown in the prized Les Fortes Terres vineyard in Cuisles, this exceptional cuvée showcases the extraordinary potential of a grape often overshadowed by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The vineyard's distinctive green illite clay soils, layered over limestone marl, impart remarkable concentration, tension and minerality.

Les Fortes Terres holds particular significance for the Moussé family, having been selected for the estate's first entirely Meunier Champagne in 2005. Today, it remains one of the domaine's most compelling expressions of terroir.

The 2022 vintage offers an expressive combination of white peach, mandarin orange, exotic fruit and delicate red berries, complemented by a beautifully textured palate, vibrant freshness and a long, mineral-driven finish. Precise, energetic and wonderfully complex, this is a Champagne that demonstrates just how sophisticated Pinot Meunier can be in the hands of a gifted grower.

A distinctive, terroir-driven Champagne for enthusiasts seeking something beyond the familiar grandes marques.
