Champagne Leclerc Briant Extra Brut Millésime 2019
Champagne, FranceThe family negociant house was an early adopter of organic practices back in the 1960’s, and were one of the first to bottle single vineyard Champagnes in the 1970’s. In the late 1980’s, Bertrand and Jacqueline’s son, Pascal, began integrating biodynamic principles and part of the production has been Demeter certified since 2003. Nice blend of pinot noir (70%) and chardonnay (30%) here, fermented in wood over 9 months before heading to bottle and 45 months sur lattes. This was disgorged September 2024 with 1.5g/L. with white and red cherry, crushed strawberry, and fragrant cherry blossoms up against the firm green apple chardonnay backbone, wrapped around a very pure fruited core, dusted with chalk and tightened with a salted lemon peel twist.Tasted: 14 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $99.95 | 750ml | consignment |
