Mouzon-Leroux’s Champagne “L’Atavique” Tradition Extra Brut NV, with a 2020 base, is a classic yet refined expression of the Grand Cru village of Verzy in the Montagne de Reims. Composed predominantly of Pinot Noir with a complement of Chardonnay, this cuvée showcases Mouzon-Leroux’s commitment to biodynamic practices and a terroir-focused approach. Vinified with a combination of stainless steel and oak, “L’Atavique” gains both freshness and subtle complexity. The Extra Brut dosage highlights the purity of the fruit and the mineral character of Verzy’s chalk-rich soils.

On the nose, “L’Atavique” reveals aromas of red apple, pear, and citrus, with hints of almond, white flowers, and a touch of brioche. The palate is vibrant and structured, presenting flavors of orchard fruits, lemon zest, and a fine chalky minerality, supported by a creamy, persistent mousse. The Extra Brut finish enhances the wine’s crispness and leaves a refreshing, dry impression with subtle depth.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with dishes like seafood, creamy poultry, or light charcuterie, making it versatile for various dining occasions. The 2020 base adds a youthful energy and brightness, while the Grand Cru origins lend elegance and depth. “L’Atavique” is an excellent choice for those seeking a Champagne that balances tradition with a fresh, terroir-driven profile.

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!
