The Champagne Moussé Fils is a family business with a history going back several generations, embodying the tradition, passion and craftsmanship of the Champagne.
Founded by François Moussé in the early 20th century, the house is located in the village of Cuisles, in the heart of the prestigious Vallée de la Marne region, in Champagne.
The history of the Moussé family is closely linked to that of Champagne. François Moussé, the company's founder, was a passionate winemaker who decided to start producing Champagne to carry on the family tradition. With determination and know-how, he planted his first vines and began to produce quality Champagnes, renowned for their finesse and elegance.
Over the generations, the Moussé family has passed on its know-how and love of the land, preserving traditional values while adapting to the evolving Champagne market. Today, Moussé Fils is still run by members of the family, who are committed to perpetuating the winegrowing heritage with passion and devotion.
The terroir of Vallée de la Marne is a major asset for the quality of Champagnes Moussé Fils. The vineyards cover almost 10 hectares, mainly located in the villages of Cuisles and Jonquery.

Cuvée Les Terres d'Illite is a testament to the profound influence of terroir on the Moussé family's vineyards. Its name is a tribute to illite, an extremely fine green clay, omnipresent in the shallow soils of the Cuisles, Jonquery and Châtillon-sur-Marne terroirs. This specific clay, renowned for retaining moisture even in periods of drought, ensures a constant water supply to the vines, enabling the grapes to reach optimum ripeness.
As a result, the choice of plots for this cuvée is not left to chance, and they are rigorously selected according to their richness in green clay.
A blend of 80% Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir, this cuvée reflects a unique terroir that contributes to the signature character of this Champagne.
With a very low dosage (2.5 g/l), Les Terres d'Illite is the ideal partner for Mediterranean tapas, where olive oil enhances textures and flavors: tenderly grilled octopus, crispy croquetas, or prawns with chorizo.
