mousse fils terre d'illite 2017
Reference: 103009Stock: 7 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"this 2017 cuvée terre d'ilite is a champagne from a single vintage, highlighting the particularities of an exceptional year. the name of this cuvée comes from green clays. indeed, the soils of the domain are a little deep, with very draining limestone marls and a thick vein of green clay, called «illite» in pedology. over long periods of drought, especially during the summer, green clay is the only soil where moisture persists. the fineness and purity of these clays guarantee a water supply to the grapes. this blanc de noirs is composed of 95% meunier and 5% pinot noir from cuisles, commune of the marne valley. the 2017 harvest began on september 8 after a very wet season. this cuvée is a selection of the best juices and vinified in stainless steel vats. malolactic fermentation is carried out to bring a nice roundness to the wine and the filtration process is done on fine earth without gluing. the bottles have been aged for 50 months in the cellars of the house and the wine is dosed extra-brut at 2 g/l. this 2017 terre d'illite cuvée stands out from the others of the moussé et fils range and will grow perfectly to a sweet/ salty or spicy dish like a tagine."
