A luminous expression of Verzy Grand Cru terroir, L’Atavique opens with lifted aromas of ripe orchard fruit, toasted brioche, and a whisper of wild herbs. The palate is taut and vinous, layered with red apple, citrus zest, and a fine chalky minerality that lingers with saline precision. A Champagne of both energy and elegance—racy, textural, and deeply expressive.
