Famille Moussé
In 1923, Eugène Moussé bottled Champagne under his own name in Cuisles, a village in the Vallée de la Marne in northeastern France. The family traces its winegrowing in Cuisles back many generations, but 1923 is when they began releasing their own Champagne.
Cédric Moussé joined the family estate and steered it toward careful farming and clean, precise cellar work. Herbicides were phased out, and today the domaine works on a practicing organic base, harvesting by hand into small crates and relying on stainless steel in the cellar. In May 2026 the estate name on the labels changed from Moussé Fils to Famille Moussé.
Today the family focuses on Meunier from Cuisles and nearby villages, with animals helping in the vines and stainless steel used for clarity in the wines. The aim is Champagne that is direct, site marked and built for the table.
