Sebastien Mouzon crafts a range of biodynamic champagnes from the village of Verzy in the Montagne de Reims. Verzy is comprised of a series of three hills and valleys with a north easterly exposure. The soils here include a large amount of flint - not very common in Champagne - and this lends Sebastien's wines a racy and pervasive minerality. Biodiversity is encouraged in the form of grazing by organic chickens and sheep, and Sebastien is actively planting trees to promote the return of nesting birds, insects and other animals.
L'Ascendant is a solera Champagne based on the L'Atavique, which will continually contain some L'Atavique back to the 2010 Base. Pear, white flowers and crushed rock flavours all appears in this inviting and delicate champagne.
A true representation of Verzy, packed full of energy and precision.
