Wine Advocate: 92 Points
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.
Vinous: 90 Points
The NV Extra Brut Solera L'Ascendant is a blend of the 2014-base Atavique and a perpetual reserve of the Atavique back to 2010. That combination of vintages yields a Champagne with lovely complexity and soft contours for Verzy where this fruit is sourced. Pear white flowers and crushed rocks all grace this translucent inviting Champagne from Mouzon-Leroux. Zero dosage. Disgorged: January 2019.
