Mouzon Leroux, l'Ascendant Solera Brut Nature, NV 2019

$94.00

Mouzon-Leroux is a reference-point grower in Verzy, farming biodynamically in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. L’Ascendant is the domaine’s solera-based cuvée, built on a perpetual reserve system that brings together multiple vintages to emphasize continuity, depth, and balance over any single year’s character. Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards and finished with zero dosage, the wine reflects both the power of Pinot Noir–dominant terroir and the precision of Mouzon-Leroux’s meticulous cellar work.

This release is vinous and layered, offering ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, and subtle red-fruit tones alongside notes of toasted grain, spice, and chalk. The palate is broad yet tightly focused, driven by fine bubbles, vibrant acidity, and a firm mineral core. Dry, structured, and expansive, the finish is long and resonant, revealing complexity with air and time.

Varietal: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Appellation: Grand Cru, Montagne de Reims, Champagne, France
Farming: Biodynamically farmed
Style: Sparkling. Vinous, structured, and mineral-driven
