Más informaciónStill something of an insider’s secret, Champagne house Leclerc-Briant continues to captivate aficionados in search of refined, terroir-driven expressions. This cuvée is a testament to the estate’s exacting work in the vineyard – inspired by organic and biodynamic methods – and in the winery, where nothing is left to chance. This Extra Brut Champagne is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir completed with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay vinified and aged in oak, a choice that brings additional complexity to the final wine.
The full extent of this estate’s expertise is revealed in this Champagne. In the glass, it shimmers with a pale golden hue enlivened by a stream of fine bubbles. They rise to the surface to release inviting notes of dried fruit, butter, pastry, citrus and white fruit. On the palate, these same flavours are lifted by a vibrant mineral backbone.
Leclerc-Briant
★ Bodega asociadaChampagne Leclerc Briant was founded in 1872 Cumières and was a family-run business until the premature death of Pascal Leclerc-Briant in 2010. Driven by his ideas, the property became a pioneer in the region, having implemented organic and biodynamic practices and gaining certification for them.
After his passing, Mark Dupré and Denise Nunnelly, an American couple who adore the French way of life, continued his legacy. They hired the passionate and innovative Hervé Jestin and Frédéric Zeimett to help with the running of the estate. Alongside winemakers like Olivier Horiot, Hugues Godmé, Barbichon and David Leclapart, they developed the property by buying new vines. Today, the property owns 14 hectares mainly planted with Chardonnay (8 ha), Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.
Not only being a pioneer when it comes to introducing organic practices to the region, the estate also holds this title for its single-plot cuvées which date back to the 1980s. They offer Champagnes that are released to the market after many years ageing in the cellar and that are not given much dosage so that the characteristics of the terroirs are not lost.
Thanks to the work of the ambitious winemakers, the wines have improved immeasurably; they are meticulously vinified, to an extent they are almost natural wines. Partial ageing in wooden barrels magnifies the qualities of these high-flying wines. You will hear plenty more about this rising star for many years to come!
