Famille Moussé 'L'Orage' Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV

A grower since 1750, Champagne Moussé sits in the village of Cuisles, in a valley perpendicular to the Vallée de la Marne. Famille Moussé is a progressive grower-producer committed to environmentally conscious farming, low-intervention cellar work, and expressive, terroir-focused Champagnes. “L’Orage” emerged from an exceptionally difficult season marked by frost, hail, and disease pressure, bringing together fruit from multiple crus in a collaborative, resilient expression of Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
