Dosage 1.5 g/L. Disgorged October 2021.

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. Best After 2021 – Robert Parker Wine Advocate
