L'Atavique Extra Brut Grand Cru is a natural wine crafted by Mouzon Leroux Champagne, in the Champagne region in France. This sparkling wine is made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.

The Mouzon family has made Champagne at Verzy since 1776, handed down father to son, and Sébastien Mouzon runs it now. All 8.5 hectares sit inside this one Grand Cru village, split across 65 separate blocks of calcareous clay and loam over flint, on Lower Campanian chalk. The exposure is north eastern, unusual for a Grand Cru, and it keeps the sites cool and late ripening. Since 2011 they have planted more than 1,500 trees and shrubs among the vines along with more than 800 aromatic plants, and chickens and sheep graze the rows in winter. Young vines are ploughed by horse so the soil is not compacted.

This is the house cuvée and it is 100 percent Verzy, 70 percent Pinot Noir to 30 percent Chardonnay, built on the 2022 harvest with 2021 and 2020 reserve wine making up the rest. Part ferments in 228 litre oak and part in steel on indigenous yeast, malolactic is taken to completion, and it rests more than three years on lees before disgorgement at 1 gram of sugar. Total sulphur across the range averages 15 milligrams per litre.

Notes of white fruit, hay, wild herbs, citrus and chalk, finishing taut and saline. Really great!

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

NATURAL WINES BY MOUZON LEROUX

The Mouzon family has made Champagne at Verzy since 1776, handed father to son, and Sébastien Mouzon runs it now. 8.5 hectares split into 65 separate blocks, every one inside the Grand Cru village, nothing bought in from outside. The exposure is north eastern, which used to be read as a disadvantage and in a warming Champagne has quietly become the opposite.

Since 2011 the estate has planted more than 1,500 trees and shrubs among the blocks, with over 800 aromatic plants between them, and chickens and sheep graze the rows in winter. Young vines are ploughed by horse. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately taken to completion, which is what lets the sulphur stay so low: an average of around 15 milligrams per litre total, with under 5 free. L'Atavique is the house wine and the place to start. L'Ascendant is a solera running since 2014, disgorged at zero dosage.

I never had a problem with one of their orders, the packaging was always perfect and they always added something as a surprise that was always welcoming (I'm still using the wine cloth).

Supporting them is supporting the natural wine scene.
