This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil under clay. While Pinot Meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Moussé, Pinot 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 Trésors de Champagne to make a Spécial Club wine of 100% Pinot Meunier and the first Club member to produce a Rosé de Saignée Spécial Club. In the vineyards, Cedric Moussé adheres to a ‘lutte raisonée’ 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. Moussé works almost exclusively in stainless steel, with the exception of a small amount of Pinot Meunier destined for his rosé. All cuvées undergo malolactic fermentation. The resulting wines seem to gush with red and dark fruits characteristic of Pinot Meunier, and a structured, saline minerality - Peter Liem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreat with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJapanese flavours with the likes of Yuzu, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecitrus, soy, matcha and miso.

The season began early and was followed by a warm, dry summer. Fortuitously this helped the vines to escape unscathed during some rain over harvest. 1999 gave powerful, concentrated, generous, and succulent wines which show a minerally vibrancy intermingled with distinctively citrus notes, oriental spice and roasted hazelnuts, on a seductive base of silky tannins and creamy, elegant effervescence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of 56% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis house has serious pedigree and a long history of making outstanding wines.

We are impressed by Louis Roederer’s increasing commitment to exploring biodynamics, both with treatment of their vast vineyard holdings plus the recent acquisition of a 15 hectare biodynamic parcel from Leclerc Briant.

This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil under clay. While Pinot Meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Moussé, Pinot 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 Trésors de Champagne to make a Spécial Club wine of 100% Pinot Meunier and the first Club member to produce a Rosé de Saignée Spécial Club. In the vineyards, Cedric Moussé adheres to a ‘lutte raisonée’ 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. Moussé works almost exclusively in stainless steel, with the exception of a small amount of Pinot Meunier destined for his rosé. All cuvées undergo malolactic fermentation.

Father and Vigneron Erick De Sousa has a Portuguese background and practices Biodynamic viticulture. The family runs just over 9 hectares, most of which in Avize but also in the Montagne de Reims and Ambonnay, also a small vineyard in the Marne Valley - Mardeuil. The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils. This interaction enables the champagne to develop a palate profile that has abundance and purity and in our view, a remarkable length and finish compared to many other champagnes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-12-17T12:49:14+11:00","created_at":"2020-12-17T12:49:14+11:00","vendor":"De Sousa","type":"Blanc de Blancs","tags":["Avize","Biodynamic","Blanc de blancs","Brut","Exclusive","Grand Cru","Grower","Kyri's Selection","Les Mesnil Sur Oger","Oger","Organic","Region: Avize","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: 30% Reserve Wines","Taste: Almond","Taste: Biodynamic","Taste: Blanc de blancs","Taste: Chalk","Taste: Grand Cru","Taste: Herbal","Taste: Lemon Curd","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Nougat","Taste: Ripe Citrus","Year: NV"],"price":65500,"price_min":65500,"price_max":65500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":13099,"compare_at_price_min":13099,"compare_at_price_max":13099,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33212905619565,"title":"6 pack","option1":"6 pack","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DE_SOUSA_RESERVE_SGL","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"De Sousa Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs - 6 pack - 6 pack","public_title":"6 pack",
