“A transmission from generation to generation. We are vignerons for 9 generations transmitting a passion for wine, but also know-how.”
A blend of mostly 2015, with some 2014 and 2013, the Mouzon-Leroux l’Atavique is a savory and wild expression from the grand cru village of Verzy. Produced from certified organic (practicing biodynamic) Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, Sébastien Mouzon crafts a masterful Champagne. Texturally, l’Atavique tends to the leaner side of Champagne but aromatically offers dark fruit, sweet herbs, and a lightly smokey character that hints at the flinty soils of Verzy.
