Only natural fertilizers are used to treat the vineyards (it’s been over a decade since Michel has eradicated all use of herbicides).

The family had roots in Spain, as Edmond de Ayala’s great-grandfather, Don Antonio de Ayala y Vergara, was named Chancellor of New Grenada in 1750 by King Ferdinand VI, setting sail for what was to later become Colombia. Edmond de Ayala’s father, Don Rafael de Ayala y Lozano, was a senior officer in the Colombian army and later the General Consul of Colombia in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house was completely destroyed in the Champagne riots of 1911, yet remarkably, it was rebuilt and ready to restart production by 1913. In 1922 it was sold to the Lefebvre family, but the recession beginning in 1929 proved to be catastrophic, and the house was sold in 1934 to the British bank Guinness. It was put up for auction in 1937 and purchased by René Chayoux, the son of an Epernay wine merchant. Chayoux was actively involved in various business affairs in the region, and eventually became co-president of the CIVC from 1944 to 1955. He enlisted Jean-Michel Ducellier, director of the CIVC and a former finance director of Charles Heidsieck, to help him run the house, and upon Chayoux’s death in 1969, Ducellier assumed responsibility for the house until his retirement in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAyala was sold again in 2000 to the Frey group, and Thierry Budin, a former president of Perrier-Jouët, took over the helm. Five years later, however, Ayala was purchased by the Bollinger Group. Bollinger bought the property and the stocks of wine, but Frey retained the vineyards, forcing the house to rely on purchased grapes. Hervé Augustin was appointed president and general manager of the house, while Nicolas Klym, who had been making wines for the house since 1979, was retained as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003echef de cave\u003c\/em\u003e. Under Augustin, the house reinvented its style, focusing heavily on non-dosé champagnes, as well as increasing its use of chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2012, the direction of the house has been in the hands of Hadrien Mouflard, and Caroline Latrive (pictured) has taken over as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003echef de cave\u003c\/em\u003e, having previously worked alongside Klym since 2006.

In 1922 it was sold to the Lefebvre family, but the recession beginning in 1929 proved to be catastrophic, and the house was sold in 1934 to the British bank Guinness. It was put up for auction in 1937 and purchased by René Chayoux, the son of an Epernay wine merchant. Chayoux was actively involved in various business affairs in the region, and eventually became co-president of the CIVC from 1944 to 1955. He enlisted Jean-Michel Ducellier, director of the CIVC and a former finance director of Charles Heidsieck, to help him run the house, and upon Chayoux’s death in 1969, Ducellier assumed responsibility for the house until his retirement in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAyala was sold again in 2000 to the Frey group, and Thierry Budin, a former president of Perrier-Jouët, took over the helm. Five years later, however, Ayala was purchased by the Bollinger Group. Bollinger bought the property and the stocks of wine, but Frey retained the vineyards, forcing the house to rely on purchased grapes. Hervé Augustin was appointed president and general manager of the house, while Nicolas Klym, who had been making wines for the house since 1979, was retained as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003echef de cave\u003c\/em\u003e.

The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi.

With time in the glass, it billows to incredible heights of spice and even suggestions of fruit mince spice.

Billecart-Salmon (Pronounced beel-kahr sahl-moh) have a fresh, clean and elegant style. They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvées without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit. Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the champagne \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo celebrate the arrival of this highly-anticipated champagne, Emperor will be hosting two events, in partnership with Champagne Bi\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003ellecart\u003c\/span\u003e-Salmon. The Melbourne event is completely sold out but we do have limited tickets available for the \u003ca data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/emperorchampagne.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D009604ee435be88e78349cd37%26id%3Dbbfce637a2%26e%3D8f0b158be9\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1618619764138000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNFBdfPiFkNwFaFo21JxCXHz-OAjNw\" href=\"https:\/\/emperorchampagne.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=009604ee435be88e78349cd37\u0026amp;id=bbfce637a2\u0026amp;e=8f0b158be9\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSydney event\u003c\/a\u003e on 22 May.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn aromatic charm of a rare mineral dimension to accompany beautiful Bresse poultry with crayfish or some royal Breton scampi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe electrifying energy of 2008 charges Elisabeth Salmon with a dynamism and an endurance like never before. To capture such precision and such concentration of pure red cherry and raspberry fruit and yet at every instant to remain steadfast to the elegance and refinement that is Billecart is the profound juxtaposition that elevates 2008 to dizzying heights. Testimony to the depth of south-facing Mareuil pinot noir even in a season as cool as 2008, just 9% red wine is all that it takes to infuse a pretty, medium salmon hue that has taken on a copper tint in time. It confidently takes 13 years in its stride, revealed only in the most subtle nuances of vanilla and marzipan. With time in the glass, it billows to incredible heights of spice and even suggestions of fruit mince spice. A little fermentation in old oak barrels builds texture and integration more than it does a subtle nuance of jamon. Partial malolactic fermentation in a season with malic acidity as pronounced as 2008 is a nail-biting affair, perfectly played by chef de cave Florent Nys.

Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels which they have never deviated from. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel, being the largest (along with Krug) than any other producer in the region.

All Grand Cru and Premier Cru fruit. R.D. 2007 is vinified entirely in older oak barrels (up to 40 years old). The wine remains in barrel for 6 months, undergoing both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine is then bottled under cork to undergo its secondary fermentation, rather than crown capsule. As a result, every bottle has to be hand-riddled and hand-disgorged. After 14 years on the lees, the wine is given a dosage of only 3 grams per liter, making it Extra Brut. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Minerally on the nose, with accents of sea breeze and brine, transitions on the palate to a deep and finely-knit range of ripe nectarine and dried white cherry fruit, chopped almond and espresso crema, and hints of tangerine peel, saffron and ground cardamom.

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 class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA good quality soft cheese like Brillat-Savarin or a hearty mushroom and herb risotto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2021-03-14T12:00:16+11:00","created_at":"2021-03-13T12:40:10+11:00","vendor":"Cédric Moussé","type":"Vintage","tags":["Blanc de Meunier","Exclusive","Extra Brut","Green Clay","Grower","Natural Winemaking","New Arrival","Organic","Pinot Meunier dominant","Region: Cuisles","spo-default","spo-disabled","Sustainable","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Mirabelle plum","Taste: Organic","Taste: Pinot Meunier","Taste: Pinot Meunier Dominant","Taste: Plum","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Texture","Taste: Wheat","Under $100","Varieties: Pinot Meunier","Vintage","Year: 2015"],"price":9895,"price_min":9895,"price_max":9895,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39271517716589,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"CEDRIC_MOUSSE_TERRE_15","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Cédric Moussé Terre d'Illitte '15 | Blanc de Noirs Champagne","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":9895,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":36,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Cedric-Mousse-Terre-d-Illite-Vintage-2015-Emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1615683613"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Cedric-Mousse-Terre-d-Illite-Vintage-2015-Emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1615683613","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Cedric-Mousse-Terre-d-Illite-Vintage-2015-Emperor-champagne","id":20230653345901,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.314,"height":1536,"width":483,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Cedric-Mousse-Terre-d-Illite-Vintage-2015-Emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1615683613"},"aspect_ratio":0.314,"height":1536,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Cedric-Mousse-Terre-d-Illite-Vintage-2015-Emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1615683613","width":483}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e- Sustainable and organic approach to the vineyard and winemaking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- High quality producer making 'terroir-driven' champagne\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Great with a variety of foods that are richer and earthier in flavours like mushroom and truffle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is saline in style with a plush texture and generous mouthfeel.

Some soil science for you; the clay's green colour comes from a combination of iron oxides and decomposed plant matter, mostly kelp and seaweed and other algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is fine bubbles, a persistent mousse and aromas of distilled plums and mirabelles.

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 class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA good quality soft cheese like Brillat-Savarin or a hearty mushroom and herb risotto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e"}
