Champagne L'Ineffable Verzy Grand Cru, Mouzon Leroux & Fils 2017
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'Ineffable Verzy Grand Cru 2017 is drawn from a selection of old-vine Pinot Noir parcels on Verzy’s mid-slope, where clay-limestone soils give intensity and lift. The 2017 vintage brought a long, even growing season that produced ripe fruit balanced by lively acidity. Grapes were hand-harvested and pressed gently, with fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The wine was aged on lees to build texture and aromatic depth before disgorgement with minimal dosage, resulting in a Champagne of remarkable precision, minerality, and quiet power.
