Mouzon Leroux’s Champagne “Les Fervins 7 Cépages” Extra Brut 2018 is a rare and intricate expression that showcases all seven permitted grape varieties in Champagne: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, Petit Meslier, and Fromenteau. This unique blend highlights Mouzon Leroux’s dedication to preserving Champagne’s historic varietal diversity, while biodynamic farming practices in the Grand Cru village of Verzy ensure a terroir-driven and environmentally mindful approach. Vinified with minimal intervention and aged in oak, this cuvée is crafted in the Extra Brut style to emphasize the wine’s natural structure, acidity, and minerality.

On the nose, “Les Fervins 7 Cépages” displays a complex bouquet of orchard fruits like apple and pear, layered with floral notes, citrus zest, and hints of spice and almond from the oak aging. The palate is textured and vibrant, offering flavors of lemon, stone fruits, and subtle herbal undertones, with a fine, creamy mousse that adds elegance. The Extra Brut dosage underscores the wine’s dry, mineral finish, leaving a lasting impression of chalk and a touch of saline.

This Champagne is a versatile pairing for dishes such as roasted vegetables, seafood risottos, or charcuterie, where its layered flavors and structure can shine. The 2018 vintage imparts concentration and freshness, making “Les Fervins 7 Cépages” a remarkable choice for Champagne lovers who appreciate tradition and biodiversity, capturing the unique personality of each varietal in a seamless blend.
