Cédric Moussé Les Vignes de Mon Village Longue Garde

Cédric Moussé, restless as he was, presents us with a cuvée that focuses on the Cuisles terroir. With the name Les Vignes de mon Village, a tribute is made to the village of family origin. Cuisles is Meunier territory, the humblest of the three great Champagne grapes. But here it is in its natural environment and it shows. Cédric, in addition to investing in a new energetically self-sustaining production area, is committed to quality with small details that go unnoticed but are a reflection of attention to detail. An example? This Champagne makes the second fermentation on cork, and not on a sheet. Like the most select cuvées from the really great Champagne houses. There is nothing. Returning to the terroir, Cuisles is a soil that mixes green clays, sands and illites, with a subsoil in which there is very disintegrated limestone bedrock. The base wine ferments in steel, performs malolactic and is minerally filtered, without clarification. The second fermentation takes place on cork, and does not carry a dosage after disgorging, the date of which is included on the back label.
