Ratafia is Champagne's own house digestif: grape juice stopped with grape spirit before it can ferment, so what ends up in the glass is fruit rather than wine. Mouzon-Leroux makes his from Grand Cru Verzy Pinot Noir, using press juice that has spent two days on the skins, which gives it colour and a red-fruited depth. Sebastien Mouzon is the ninth generation of his family here, farming biodynamically since 2008 with trees planted among the vines from 2011. The style is deliberately oxidative, closer in feel to a tawny Port than to anything sparkling, and the 500ml bottle is the right size for something poured in small glasses. Serve it cold, around ten degrees Celsius, or over ice.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Blue cheese and walnuts, a slice of chocolate tart, or foie gras. Also good on its own after dinner, or over ice with a twist of orange as an aperitif.

Tasting Profile

Sweet and unctuous, and not sparkling. Dried red fruit, fig and orange peel with nutty, oxidative notes, a warming lift from the added spirit, and a long, raisiny finish.
