Champagne L'Atavique Verzy Grand Cru, Mouzon Leroux & Fils NV
Mouzon Leroux & Fils
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'Atavique Verzy Grand Cru NV is the cornerstone of the Mouzon Leroux range, encapsulating the spirit of Verzy through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the estate’s oldest Grand Cru vineyards. Sourced from chalk-rich soils that deliver both precision and aromatic lift, the NV blend draws primarily from a single base vintage with a proportion of reserve wine for depth. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts in a mix of stainless steel and oak, and aged extensively on lees. The wine shows tension, minerality, and finely woven fruit, a vivid portrait of Verzy’s unique terroir.
