The 2020 Les Feverins from Mouzon-Leroux is a striking and rare example of the still wines of Champagne—a region best known for its bubbles, but one that proves just as captivating when it steps quietly into the world of the Coteaux Champenois. Think of it as Champagne unplugged: no effervescence, just pure, unadorned expression.

Hailing from the biodynamically farmed estate of Mouzon-Leroux, Les Feverins is crafted with precision and care. The 2020 vintage reflects the tension and harmony of its origins: chalk-rich soils that imbue the wine with incredible minerality. On the nose, it’s a tapestry of red and black fruits, delicate spice, and a subtle floral lift. The palate is textural and precise, with fine tannins and a core of refreshing acidity that promises both immediate pleasure and graceful aging.

Mouzon-Leroux has established itself as a pioneer of sustainable viticulture in Champagne, and Les Feverins is a testament to this philosophy. With only a limited number of bottles produced, this wine is a true collector’s gem—a rare opportunity to experience Champagne as a still life portrait.

For those who appreciate the art of land-driven winemaking, the 2020 Les Feverins is a captivating exploration of the Côte des Bar’s potential, embodying the elegance and energy that define the finest expressions of Coteaux Champenois.
