Mouzon Leroux & Fils was established in 1950 by Maurice Mouzon in Verzy, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Champagne. The estate remains family-owned and is now managed by the third generation, combining respect for tradition with careful experimentation. The estate farms 9 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, predominantly Pinot Noir, across the clay-limestone slopes of Verzy, including parcels with old vines over 50 years old. Mouzon Leroux places a strong emphasis on low intervention viticulture, working biodynamically in many parcels, maintaining biodiversity, and focusing on soil health. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted meticulously to ensure only the finest fruit enters the press. All fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and neutral oak, followed by extended lees ageing to develop texture, complexity, and aromatic depth. Minimal sulphur is used, and wines are never fined or filtered. The house is renowned for producing Champagnes that are structured, precise, and transparent expressions of their terroir, with a focus on freshness, minerality, and aromatic clarity.
Champagne L'Opiniâtre Verzy Grand Cru 2016 comes from clay-limestone parcels on mid and upper slopes of Verzy Grand Cru. The 2016 vintage was cool and precise, producing elegant Pinot Noir with fine red berry aromatics, bright acidity, and subtle mineral lift. Grapes were hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged on fine lees to develop structure and aromatic clarity.
