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.

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!
