Mouzon-Leroux L'Ascendant Solera Extra-Brut NV (750ML)

92 WA / 92 AG / 91 WS

Disgorged in March 2021 with 1.5 grams per liter dosage, Mouzon's latest NV Extra-Brut L'ascendant Solera is based on the 2016 vintage, complemented by 50% reserve wines drawn from a solera established in 2010. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, crisp green orchard fruit, nashi pear, macadamia nuts and nougat, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, mineral finish. This has turned out very nicely. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The NV Extra Brut L'Ascendant Solera is a rich, creamy, vinous Champagne built on textural resonance and nuance. The blend of 50% 2013 and 50% reserve wines going back to 2010 confers a good deal of flavor and complexity. Persistent and nuanced, L'Ascendant simply hits all the right notes. What a gorgeous wine it is. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2017. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
