A true rose de saignee, which very few in Champagne bother with anymore: rather than blending a splash of red wine into white, Sebastien Mouzon gives the Pinot Noir time on its skins and bleeds off the juice once it has taken on colour. The fruit comes from a chalky, frost-prone parcel in the eastern valley of Verzy, farmed biodynamically by the ninth generation of the family, with trees planted through the vines since 2011. Three-plus years on the lees and an Extra Brut finish keep it firmly on the savory side of pink. Expect something wild and herbal rather than pretty and strawberry-flavoured, with Verzy's stony spine running underneath. Pour it at cellar temperature, not ice cold.

"Disgorged in February 2021 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage, the NV Rosé de Saignée L’Incandescent is derived from the 2017 vintage and saw a 22-hour maceration. Mingling aromas of red berries and plums with notions of orange rind, exotic spices and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and sapid, with a pretty core of spicy fruit, lively acids and a savory finish. There's a certain fragility to the wine that leads me to suspect it will be at its best young." —William Kelley

"Firm and fragrant, with an overtone of wild sage and thyme, this shows a lovely range of ripe black raspberry, mandarin orange peel, graphite, mineral and spice notes. There's real drive to this tightly meshed, mouthwatering Champagne, yet this is refined and creamy on the palate, with raw silky texture. Long, chalky finish."

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

Duck breast with cherries, grilled salmon, jamon iberico, roast pork loin, or a mushroom tart.

Tasting Profile

Dry and savory. Wild strawberry and blood orange with dried herbs and a chalky, flinty edge. Firm structure, fine bubbles and a long, stony finish - more earthy than fruity.

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!
