What kind of wine is Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins "7 Cepages" Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux
The Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins "7 Cepages" Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux originates from the heart of the Montagne de Reims, specifically from the renowned Les Fervins parcel near the village of Verzy, one of the most prized areas for Grand Cru Champagne production. The Mouzon Leroux house, now a symbol of craftsmanship and respect for the terroir, offers a label that encapsulates the essence of this territory through a unique blend of the seven grape varieties permitted by the appellation. This Champagne is entirely vinified using the traditional method (or classic method), a process that involves a second fermentation in the bottle, a crucial moment for the formation of the perlage and the typical aromas of the best Champagnes. The result is a wine of great elegance, faithful to the "Brut Nature" philosophy, meaning no sugar is added after disgorgement, to offer an authentic and pure interpretation of the soil and grapes.Vintage details
The 2017 vintage in Champagne was characterized by contrasting weather patterns, with an early spring followed by some frosts and a hot, dry summer. These conditions reduced production but concentrated aromas and structure in the grapes. The result is a balanced Champagne, with remarkable freshness and depth, capable of expressing the complexity of all seven varieties used.Winemaking and aging
Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, naturally present on the grape skins, without resorting to selected yeasts, to preserve aromatic authenticity. Aging continues in the bottle for several years on its lees, a period that enriches the wine with notes of freshly baked bread and toasted hazelnut. The "Brut Nature" dosage (zero) allows for the appreciation of the purity of the fruit and the mineral imprint of the Verzy terroir, without compromise.Tasting notes

How to best open and serve Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins “7 Cepages” Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening, ensure that the bottle of Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins “7 Cepages” Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux has been stored horizontally, away from light and heat sources. Approximately 24 hours before serving, position it vertically to allow any sediment to settle at the bottom, resulting in clearer Champagne when poured.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The perfect temperature for this Champagne is between 8°C and 10°C. Gradual chilling in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours is ideal. Avoid using the freezer, as it could damage the wine's aromas and structure. Shortly before serving, you can keep the bottle in a bucket with ice and water to maintain the correct temperature.
3. Opening the Bottle
To open the Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins “7 Cepages” Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux safely and elegantly:
- Gently remove the foil and loosen the wire cage, keeping your thumb on the cork to prevent sudden opening.
- Hold the bottle at approximately a 45° angle and gently rotate the base of the bottle (not the cork), controlling the internal pressure.
- Slowly allow the gas to escape, aiming for a soft "sigh" upon opening, without splashes or loud pops.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, observe the wine's color and brilliance: a Champagne Grand Cru of this quality will exhibit a bright golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. Take a small taste to verify the integrity of the aromatic profile — you should perceive notes of dried fruit, ripe citrus, and subtle mineral nuances.
5. Decantation and Oxygenation
While it is rare to decant Champagne, for a vintage like Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins “7 Cepages” Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux, a slight oxygenation can be beneficial. Pour the wine into a large glass and let it rest for 5–10 minutes: this will encourage the complex aromas to open up and harmonize the minerality and structure.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne with continuous and controlled movements, pouring into appropriate glasses—preferably tulip-shaped, to enhance aromas and bubbles. Fill them approximately two-thirds full, allowing the wine to breathe and maintain its ideal temperature. Maintain a professional and discreet tone during service, just as a sommelier would.
7. Storage After Opening
If not consumed entirely, reseal the bottle with a specialized Champagne stopper, capable of maintaining internal pressure. Store the bottle upright in the refrigerator. To further appreciate its freshness and effervescence, it is advisable to consume the remaining Champagne Grand Cru Les Fervins “7 Cepages” Brut Nature 2017 - Mouzon Leroux within 24 hours of opening.
