Sébastien Mouzon, is a young man with a clear sense of vision for his domaine and his end Champagne. He received formal training and degrees in both oenology and viticulture, and spent a year working in Burgundy to gain greater depth of knowledge towards the use of oak for fermentation and maturation. In the vineyards, flowers and grass are allowed to grow between the vines and Sébastien has gone so far as to plant a cherry tree in the middle of one of his vineyard plots to promote biodiversity.

The pure mineral intensity and chalk drive would pair well with a medley of fine foods, charcuterie and cheese would be a great option
