-> Champagne Mouzon-Leroux & Fils
Champagne Mouzon-Leroux & Fils is among the smaller houses where the same family has maintained its traditions for generations. It creates a distinct sense of intimate familiarity with the vineyards and, with that, an understanding of how to get exactly what is needed from the grapes to produce Champagne with class and character. L’Ineffable Blanc de Noirs is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and has a depth, purity and chalky elegance that are classic for Verzy and require particular expertise to achieve.
The wine is made according to biodynamic principles, combining intensity and elegance in a finely judged balance. Decisions here are not made in pursuit of the easiest solution, but rather the one that best suits the grapes and the particular Champagne they are destined to become. It requires patience and experience, two qualities that characterise Mouzon-Leroux & Fils particularly well.
The red-fruited character of Pinot Noir comes through in juicy apple nuances, providing both depth and a fine acidity that preserves the freshness. Ageing also brings notes of yeasty dough and freshly baked bread, adding the depth and complexity that bind the freshness and fine bubbles together in a mouthfeel that creates pure magic in the complete experience.
A Champagne perfectly suited to those who enjoy a dry, intense style with clearly defined structure and cool elegance. A glass that makes festive occasions even more special through its combination of depth, finesse and chalky precision.
