This bottle is an official Extra Brut selection. It was featured in October 2024.

Famille Moussé’s Champagne Terre d’Illite Extra Brut 2020 is a captivating exploration of terroir-driven Champagne. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Meunier, a hallmark of the Vallée de la Marne, this wine reflects the unique influence of Illite clay soils on its character. Farming is fully organic, and the winemaking process is gentle and transparent, emphasizing native yeast fermentations and aging in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak.

More about Famille Mousse

Growers since 1750 in the village of Cuisles, in a side valley off the Marne, Famille Moussé is now run by fourth-generation Cédric Moussé, who farms organically, runs the cellar on solar and geothermal power, and lets sheep, pigs and chickens work the vines. Meunier is the star here, about 80% of the vineyard, and the band of green illite clay under Cuisles gives it a lift and finesse that makes the case for Champagne's underdog grape.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
