2017 Mouzon Leroux L’ascendant L’angélique Blanc de Blancs

$220.00

Every great region has at least one extraordinary individual that champions its unique character and terroir. In Verzy, that person is Sébastien Mouzon, an absolute dynamo, producing beautiful, incisive, and mineral Champagnes.

As part of the “third wave” of visionary grower-producers, Sébastien crafts some of the most vibrant, mineral-driven Champagnes known to us. With a family legacy dating back to 1776, Sébastien embraced biodynamics in 2008, witnessing a remarkable improvement in wine purity. His commitment to sustainable practices is evident in his agroforestry efforts, boasting over 1,000 trees on the estate. Cultivating 60 plots across Verzy’s diverse terroirs, Sébastien’s artisanal approach, extended lees aging, and minimal intervention result in restrained, elegant, and captivating Champagnes. A rising star on the global sommelier scene, Sébastien Mouzon’s wines are now creating a buzz in Australia, where enthusiasts seeking refined and incisive Champagnes find solace.

Disgorged October 2022. The Angélique is a Blanc de Blancs sourced from between four and eight sites in Verzy, depending on the year. These sites are located in the first and second valleys, where the plantings are more heavily skewed to Chardonnay and the soils are rich in clay, limestone and flint. The wine sees full malo, a 60-month élevage in oak and 1.5g/l dosage.
