Coteaux Champenois 7 cépages

Champagne Mouzon Leroux
Imagine a still white from the heart of Verzy, where Mouzon-Leroux farms its grand cru slopes biodynamically, letting chalk and old vines speak for themselves. Here all seven Champagne grapes share the same plot and the same press, blended together in a single harmonious whole. The 2020 vintage brings ripe fruit, gentle citrus and a smoky, mineral edge that lingers long after the glass is empty. Fermented naturally and aged with patience, it feels textured, saline and beautifully alive. If you want to taste the region without the bubbles, you'll find it quietly thrilling with roast poultry, aged cheese or simply good company.
