Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Grand Cru Rosé de Saignée Brut Nature L’Incandescent by Mouzon Leroux is an organic sparkling wine crafted according to the principles of the Traditional Method. It displays a bright orange hue, enhanced by a fine and persistent mousse. The bouquet combines fragrant notes of wild strawberry and pineapple with complex hints of brioche and yeast. On the palate, it expresses a dry character, revealing itself as rounded and full-bodied. The balance between lively savouriness and softness culminates in a gustatory persistence of great elegance.
Where it comes from
The wine originates in Verzy, in the prestigious area of the Grande Montagne de Reims. This terroir imparts a distinctive character to the Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated organically. The Mouzon Leroux family, with winemaking roots dating back to 1776, tend the land with dedication. The conditions of the Champagne designation allow for the harvest of grapes of absolute excellence, translating into the glass all the structure and finesse that define the identity of the Grand Cru of Verzy.
How it is produced
Vinification involves a twenty-five hour maceration. The must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, being divided between small oak barrels and vats. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for six months on the lees without any filtration. Ageing continues on racks for an average period of twenty-eight months. After disgorgement, the cuvée completes its evolution with a further six months of maturation in the cellar, ensuring maximum harmony of flavour.
