Mouzon Leroux & Fils "L'Atavique" Brut Nature Grand Cru

60% Pinot Noir • 40% Chardonnay

A striking expression of Grand Cru Champagne, L'Atavique is vibrant, precise, and beautifully textured. Its fine, creamy mousse carries aromas of crisp green apple, quince, ripe pear, lemon zest, and white flowers, layered with subtle notes of fresh brioche, chalk, and delicate spice. The palate is energetic and mineral-driven, with bright citrus, yellow orchard fruit, and a signature saline freshness that leads to a long, dry finish accented by a hint of white pepper.

Food Pairing:
Oysters, sea urchin, ceviche, fish tartare, grilled or roasted white fish.

Wine Spectator:
"A sculpted Champagne that's firm and mouthwatering, yet the fine and creamy mousse softens the impression, bringing overall harmony. The baked white cherry, raspberry coulis, pickled ginger and anise notes are underscored by a streak of salty mineral, and accents of lime blossoms and graphite chime on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged February 2021. Drink now through 2025" - 93 pts
