Mouzon Leroux NV l'Atavique Tradition Extra Brut (Base '22) (Arrives 10/6)

A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay in 3 different vineyards in different sections of Verzy Grand Cru. Soils here are silex with chalk and clay. 55% of the wine is the base vintage of 2022 with the remainder being reserve wines (2021 and 2019). Aged 12 months in wood, then bottled for second fermentation with an additional 28 months en tirage. This wine provides a real snapshot to the terroir of Verzy with a blend from 65 different plot around the village. It has a strong, stoney minerality with a long salty finish and beautiful, bright acidity. There is great energy here, perfect to pair with seafood or just enjoy on its own.
