Producer Information
A grower since 1750, Champagne Mouss sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Valle de la Marne. This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil under clay. While Meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Mouss, Meunier is celebrated. 80% of the vines planted are Meunier, with the balance planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This agency is the first member of Club Trsors de Champagne to make a Spcial Club wine of 100% Pinot Meunier and the first Club member to produce a Ros de Saigne Spcial Club. In the vineyards, Cedric Mouss adheres to a lutte raisone approach. He practices organic viticulture, using herbal infusions that act as vitamins for the vines, cover crops, zero pesticides, and minimal doses of heavy metals like copper. His new winery, completed in 2012 may be deceiving; the modern facility leads us to believe this is a new operation. Solar panels power the cellar, tasting room, and 2 houses on the property, while geothermal energy moderates temperature throughout the winery. An underground spring provides enough water for irrigation on the farm. Mouss works almost exclusively in stainless steel, with the exception of a small amount of Pinot Meunier destined for his ros. All cuves undergo malolactic fermentation. The resulting wines seem to gush with red and dark fruits characteristic of Pinot Meunier, and a structured, saline minerality.
