Champagne Leclerc Briant Les Monts Ferrés 2018
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceThis new release from pioneering organic / biodynamic producer Leclerc Briant is a single vineyard BdB from 1er Cru Vertus (and the first plot over from GC Le Mesnil sur Oger). The 4 year old vines are rooted mid-slope in chalky, iron laced soils, hence the name of the vineyard. This was native fermented and vinified in oak over 10 months before going to bottle unfined and unfiltered, and 4 years sur lattes. It was disgorged in November 2023 with 1.5 g/L. Burnished lemon, chalk, anise, and herbal verbena streak through this textural, structural wine, based on crushed stone and deep chalk which lingers on the long finish. Quite striking and impressive. Fewer than 5000 bottles were produced.Tasted: 28 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $359.00 | 750ml | consignment |
