Champagne, FranceChampagne Emile Leclere was founded in 1832, and is today run by 5th generation Vincent and Marie. Based in Mardeuil, they own 12 hectares of vineyards, primarily pinot meunier, chardonnay, and pinot noir. This chard had 3 years on lees sur lattes, and was dosed with 8 g/L. This bottle was disgorged November 2020. Red apple, dough, toast, and lemon peel carry this wine, with a tight, buzzy finish. Somewhat simple, but clean and direct and focused.Tasted: 21 October 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
