Cuvées in the guide: 8

Champagne‌ Jean-Claude Mouzon is a Récoltant Manipulant in Verzenay (Grand Cru), run by Frédérique and Cédric Lahémade, who manage the family business with four generations of history. The core of the house is formed by duality: both in the relationship of the owners (who met through judo) and in their wine style, in which they combine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay into champagnes that bear the HVE certification (Haute Valeur Environnementale) for sustainable, environmentally conscious farming.

The vineyards cover 43 small plots in the Grand Cru villages of Verzenay, Verzy, Beaumont-sur-Vesle and Mailly-Champagne. The terroir, sheltered by the "Mont Sinaï" (277 m), offers an ideal microclimate. The owners carry out all stages of luxury craftsmanship, from hand harvesting to vinification, sometimes using oak barrels from the forests of Verzy for ageing, as with the "Les Déliés" series.

The range includes various cuvées that reflect the diversity of the house:

Et sans ciel ?: A brut/demi-sec blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier.
Reverse: A brut that combines 50% black and 50% white grapes, rich in reserve wines.
Cœur à Cœur: A rosé with 15-18% red wine from old Pinot Noir plots, balancing power and lightness.
Candeur D'esprit: A 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from Verzenay, known for its floral and mineral profile.
Grand Bouquin: A 70% Pinot Noir / 30% Chardonnay blend, named after the local term for inhabitants of Verzenay.
Les Déliés: A series of single-varietal vintage champagnes (100% Pinot Noir or 100% Chardonnay), without dosage and aged in oak.
Virdunacus: A vintage Extra-Brut of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay.

Visitors can visit the estate (La Mouzonnerie) by appointment for tours and tastings, with a focus on transparent production and respect for the terroir.
