Champagne Leclerc Briant, Réserve, Brut

Description

Leclerc Briant are one of Champagne’s most innovative producers. Organic and biodynamic, they are trailblazers through and through. Their Leclerc Briant Réserve Brut is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, selected from Premier and Grand Cru villages. It has delicious notes of citrus, green apple, apricot and almond, with a hint of salinity. There is no better place to enjoy it than in the garden, one bottle around the barbecue and another to share under a starry night sky.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20

Blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, selected from Premier and Grand Cru villages. Disgorged from August 2022 with dosage 4.5 g/l.

Very deep-flavoured and persistent.  This is really compelling wine that sparkles rather than standard-issue champagne. Almost rich on the mid palate but dry and refreshing on the finish. Very, very rewarding.

Disgorged March of 2023. 4.5 grams per litre dosage.

Pouring a bright pale yellow hue, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut is from 2019, with 40% each Pinot Noir and Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. It opens to reveal notes of wet asphalt, ripe white peach, and fresh redcurrant. Medium-bodied and approachable, it has a rounded mid-palate, a chalky and pithy texture with a lively yet fine mousse, and a light note of brûléed grapefruit rind on the finish. It’s an attractive and balanced wine with a clean finish.

About this wine

Champagne

Champagne

In 1668, the monk Dom Pérignon is credited with discovering the traditional method of making sparkling wine - a technique now used worldwide. Yet it is only in Champagne, France’s most northerly wine region, that this method produces wines of such finesse and prestige. Today, Champagne is home to over 15,000 growers and 290 Champagne houses. The region’s cool climate often necessitates a blend of grape varieties: Chardonnay brings fruit and elegance, while Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier provide body and backbone.
