Famille Mousse Les Vignes Mon Villages Champagne

$99.99
A grower since 1750, Champagne Famille Moussé sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Marne river. This village is know for a unique terroir in Champagne: a thick band of green clay that sits under sand and various other soil types. This special clay, known as “Illite” and is used in cosmetics, gives the Meunier at this benchmark domaine an almost Chardonnay-like quality, with a lift and texture not often seen with this variety.

The NV Brut Nature Les Vignes de Mon Village is another highlight in this range from Moussé. The current release is based on 2022, with reserve wines from 2021 and 2020. Floral and citrus notes give this 100% Meunier a super-appealing upper register of brilliance. Citrus, white flowers, mint and tangerine peel build effortlessly in the glass. Zero dosage. Disgorged: May 7, 2024.
