Mouzon-Leroux is the only specialist we can think of from Verzy, one of the great Grand Crus of Montagne. This is pretty neat, because Verzy is a rare Grand Cru that actually points northeast, so it has very cool vineyards produces wines where mineral is far out in front of fruit. All of this is enhanced through organic and biodynamic farming, and a hands-off approach in the winery -- malos are allowed to occur naturally and virtually no sulphur is used. Mouzon-Leroux is one of the elite producers who can claim membership in the Special Club.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92

"Disgorged in December 2019 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage, the NV Rosé de Saignée L’Incandescent derives exclusively from the 2016 vintage and saw 28 hours of maceration before pressing. Offering up inviting aromas of plums, raspberries, cinnamon, orange rind and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, bright and vinous, with powdery phenolic structure, tangy acids and a fine-boned, elegant profile. This is a pretty but serious wine from Mouzon-Leroux that's well worth seeking out." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 94

"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."

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!
