Mouzon Leroux L Atavique MV21

A blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay from biodynamic and agroforestry-farmed vines planted on the Montagne de Reims in Verzy, a Grand Cru parcel with clay-limestone soils over flint. Harvested by hand. Ferments spontaneously in oak barrels where it undergoes brief aging. En tirage for 32 months on the lees, rests in the bottle for an additional 6 months after disgorgement. Unfined, unfiltered, very low sulfite. Notes of pear, quince, lemon, almond, toasted bread... The palate is pure and taut, precise, with fine bubbles and a mineral finish.
