2014 Champagne Leclerc Briant, Grand Blanc, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Zéro

Description

A bright nose of fresh red apples and white peaches combines with custard pastry notes on this complex wine. The palate is light and the mousse seamlessly integrated; time has softened this beautifully. The flavours evolve from fresh orchard fruits and pastry onto a moreishly savoury finish of toasted nuts, with an underlying note of shiitake. The wine is gorgeously balanced, dry (but not excessively so) with a finish that goes on and on.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 90/100

The 2014 Champagne Grand Blanc Zero Brut is lifted with toasty oak spice, incense, yellow plum, and chamomile. It is taught, tightly wound on the palate with precise mousse, and moves into a decidedly savoury style with saline and herbs.

Disgorged: May 2022

The 2014 Brut Zéro Grand Blanc was made without any additions of sulfur dioxide. The buttery richness of raw short crust pastry is foremost on the nose, complemented by springy panettone. The freshness on the palate is immediate and deliciously bracing. Tiny, fine bubbles whirl up freshness, yeasty flavors and stony, chalky saltiness. Tension and tautness are compelling, as is the layered depth of rich, buttery autolysis. The finish is lasting, long and totally full-flavored. Zero dosage.

Drink 2023 - 2040
