Antonio Galloni

91 points

"The NV Extra-Brut L'Ascendant is a very pretty wine based on 2017 combined in equal parts with a solera-style blend going back to 2014, 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Bright floral accents, lemon peel, white pepper, mint and crushed rocks lend freshness throughout, I very much like the vibrancy and overall energy. Dosage is 1 gram per liter."

"Disgorged in March 2021 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage, Mouzon's latest NV Extra-Brut L'ascendant Solera is based on the 2016 vintage, complemented by 50% reserve wines drawn from a solera established in 2010. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, crisp green orchard fruit, nashi pear, macadamia nuts and nougat, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, mineral finish. This has turned out very nicely." —William Kelley

Wine Spectator

"A vibrant Champagne, with aromas and flavors of white raspberry, mandarin orange peel, almond blossoms and salted almond set on a vivacious bead. Creamy finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay."

More about Mouzon-Leroux

Sébastien Mouzon is the ninth generation in Verzy, Champagne, and the first to go biodynamic (2008), add agroforestry (2011), and refuse sulfites. His seven hectares, planted in 50 tiny parcels, make Champagne without ego—just precision, terroir, and the quiet confidence of someone whose family's been doing this since 1776.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
