Born from a meticulous blend of \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e, it expresses the elegance of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e through a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet reveals clear notes of apple, exotic fruit, aromatic herbs, strawberry, citron, morello cherry and gooseberry. On the palate, \u003cstrong\u003ethe Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e is dry and full-bodied, distinguished by its \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy and mineral profile\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sip finishes with a long and delicately almondy aftertaste. This refined structural texture makes it the ideal pairing for \u003cstrong\u003eshellfish and poultry\u003c\/strong\u003e dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes destined for this wine come entirely from the prestigious village of Verzy, classified as \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e, located within the Grande Montagne de Reims. This specific hillside location ensures the bunches achieve excellent ripeness, laying the foundation for a solid structure and pronounced gustatory tension. The winery follows the strict principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, working the plots in full respect of the natural ecosystem. Belonging to this top-level terroir translates into a sip with a strong identity, where the minerality faithfully reflects the authentic \u003cstrong\u003echaracter of the land\u003c\/strong\u003e of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with spontaneous fermentation, entrusted exclusively to \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e and carried out without filtration. The base must ferments partially in small vats and in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing the malolactic transformation. The evolution continues according to the principles of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e with a long \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e in the bottle, lasting about thirty-two months. After this complex phase, the subsequent disgorgement precedes a further six months of rest in the cellar. This rigorous artisanal process precisely shapes and defines the overall balance of the cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Atavique evokes the concept of atavism, a return to the distinctive traits of one's ancestors, paying homage to the deep-rooted tradition of Mouzon-Leroux in the \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru of Verzy\u003c\/strong\u003e. This refined cuvée skilfully blends Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, combining the freshness of the 2022 harvest with the complexity of previous vintages. Exceptional artisanal care is demonstrated through 32 months of ageing on the lees and further maturation in the cellar, enhancing the \u003cstrong\u003eextra brut dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e of just 1 g\/l.
