LIMITED QUANTITES

Mouzon-Leroux’s Champagne “L’Ineffable” Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut 2017 is a refined and terroir-driven expression made exclusively from Pinot Noir sourced from the Grand Cru village of Verzy in the Montagne de Reims. Known for their biodynamic approach, Mouzon-Leroux allows the character of Verzy’s chalk-rich soils to shine through in this cuvée. Vinified in oak barrels, “L’Ineffable” is crafted with minimal intervention, allowing the purity and depth of Pinot Noir from a single vintage to stand out. The Extra Brut dosage emphasizes its natural structure, minerality, and freshness.

On the nose, “L’Ineffable” reveals complex aromas of red apple, ripe pear, and black cherry, layered with hints of white pepper, brioche, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is both powerful and elegant, with flavors of dark berry fruits, citrus zest, and a chalky minerality that gives the wine structure and finesse. The fine, persistent mousse enhances its texture, while the Extra Brut finish leaves a precise, dry impression with a long, mineral-driven aftertaste.

This Champagne is a wonderful pairing for rich dishes such as roasted meats, truffle-infused pasta, or aged cheeses, where its depth and complexity can shine. The 2017 vintage brings a concentrated and balanced profile to “L’Ineffable,” making it a standout choice for those seeking a robust, yet sophisticated Blanc de Noirs that embodies the essence of Grand Cru Pinot Noir and the Montagne de Reims terroir.

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.

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!
