Mousse Fils Special Club Rose de Saignee Extra Brut 2016

About the Producer

A grower since 1750, Champagne Mousse sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Vallee de la Marne. This side valley has a unique soil in Champagne: a schist subsoil underclay. While pinot meunier often struggles to be taken seriously in Champagne, at Mousse, pinot meunier is celebrated. 80% of the vines planted are meunier, with the balance planted to pinot noir and chardonnay. This agency is the only member of the Club de Tresor to make a Special Club wine of 100% Pinot Meunier. In the vineyards, Cedric Mousse adheres to a lutte raisonee approach.
