The NV Brut Nature L’Atavique Tradition is a powerful Champagne. Verzy Pinot and Chardonnay scream with an intensity that marries fruit, acid, and structure. There is not much in the way of subtlety here, but the L’Atavique certainly has a tone of character. We would open this well in advance. Expect a driving, vinous Champagne for the dinner table. 

Champagne Mouzon-Leroux is a grower estate in the Grand Cru village of Verzy, led by ninth-generation vigneron Sébastien Mouzon. Since taking over in 2008, Sébastien has converted the family's vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming while embracing agroforestry, aromatic plants, animals and homemade herbal preparations to strengthen the life of the soil. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lead the plantings, joined by Champagne's rarer historic varieties. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and shaped with a light hand, combining Verzy's chalky tension with depth, savory character and a distinctly living sense of place.
