A story of duality

  • Made of grape and reason

    The whole duality of Champagne Jean-Claude MOUZON lies in the duo of Frédérique and Cédric Lahémade, who, from two black and white grape-varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, create champagnes worth their appellation Great Growth Champagne that are environment-friendly.

    A story of duality

    Champagne Jean-Claude MOUZON is before all guided by a duo, that of Frédérique and Cédric Lahémade.
    Fan of judo, Cédric discovers Frédérique at the dojo; she was also keen on this martial art. Rivals on the tatami, Frédérique and Cédric fall in love, turning a hand to hand fight into a heart to heart relation.
    By uniting, their wish to work surrounded by Nature becomes real. They both gradually join Jean-Claude on the estate and will then become the current happy makers of Jean-Claude Mouzon champagnes.
    Since then, they move forward little by little, together in life and in the vines too.

  • Verzenay, a Great Growth village

    The name of the village of Champagne Jean-Claude MOUZON, Verzenay, means « to the North ». This Great Growth village of the Champagne area, perched on the Montagne de Reims, looks down the Vallée de la Vesle. The Mountain rising to 277 m of altitude (« Mount Sinaï ») protects the houses of the village and its vines by confining hot air.

    Inheriting and running a terroir classified Great Growth implies that you show a daily interest for its quality and turn it into your champagnes. 43 small plots located in the villages of Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle and Mailly-Champagne make up the vineyard of Champagne Jean-Claude MOUZON. Their surface enables them to do everything by themselves: luxury craftsmanship! Cédric and Frédérique watch carefully over their Great Growth grapes. They practice sustainable vine cultivation (environmental-friendly) acknowledged by the Ministry of Agriculture through the logo “HVE”.

The Champagnes

Our Collection

La Mouzonnerie has a winery designed for separating the wines by village, by grape-varieties, and, in case of vintage, by years. Reserve wines also follow a separation Chardonnay/Pinot Noir. You will find back all the duality of Champagne Jean-Claude MOUZON in a range produced by our two protagonists.

Et sans ciel ?

Et sans ciel ?

BRUT AND HALF-DRY Body & Finesse

What could we do without Nature and our predecessors? We have designed « Et sans ciel ? » with this state of mind: to honour the tradition of our ancestors, to praise Nature for its key value in our job of wine-grower. « Et sans ciel ? » mixes body and finesse in racy elegance. Pinot Noir (60 %), together with Chardonnay (35 %) and Meunier (5 %) will introduce you to the characteristics of our House (stewed fruit, almonds, nuts).

Brut FRESHNESS & MATURITY

REVERSE such is the Ying and the Yang: it signs the symbiosis between two contrasting identities, Black grapes (50 %) and White grapes (50 %). Tender with its soft effervescence, rebel via its freshness, REVERSE is mainly composed with reserve wines (60 %). This is the perfect master of reserve wines making and ageing that enables it to express onto aromas of white fruits and citrus.
A clear and elegant wine!

Cœur à Cœur

Cœur à Cœur

BRUT AND HALF-DRY POWER & LIGHTNESS

In life as in the vines, we elaborate our champagnes in duo: our body fight on tatami turned into an affair of the heart. In our image, this rosé balances between power and lightness: virile in the eye, it reveals a big heart in the palate. Its subtlety: between 15 and 18 % of red wines coming from one of the oldest plots of Pinot Noir that we vinify ourselves. Surrender to the charm...

Candeur D’esprit

BRUT – GREAT GROWTH – BLANC DE BLANCS INTENSE AND FLORAL

This wine is a 100 % Chardonnay wine issued from our Great Growth village, Verzenay. It is crunchy, expressive, mineral, as some will say. A great freshness and aromas of flowers, fresh bread and hardly mature fruits express some kind of original purity. We love the intensity and structure of this spirited wine.

So, our « Grand Bouquin », 70 % Pinot Noir, 30 % Chardonnay, is produced in Verzenay (« Bouquins » is the name given to Verzenay inhabitants) and offers the precise expression, elegant and gourmet of our Great Growth character. Its maturity combines with purity for immediate pleasure !

An ultimate symbiosis between Nature (no dosage) and our passion has guided us towards the making of this 100 % Pinot Noir from Verzenay. Aged in oak barrels from the forest of Verzy, this is a complex and powerful wine that expresses our terroir and the demand of our vinification.
