Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Chalky tension and crystalline acidity carried by the Chardonnay of Trépail, with no dosage to soften the line.
Roundness
Delicate, airy texture; malolactic fermentation lends a gentle silkiness without weighing down the mineral spine.
Depth
Concentrated yet elegant expression drawn from six complementary parcels within the Premier Cru of Trépail.
Length
A saline, zesty finish of remarkable persistence — the hallmark of the finest Champenois Blancs de Blancs.

TASTING NOTES

Pale golden robe with silver highlights and a fine, persistent bead. On the nose, white citrus (zested lemon, grapefruit), acacia blossom, a discreet chalky undertone and a hint of ripe Williams pear. The palate opens with a lively, taut attack; the mid-palate offers a delicate texture before a saline, mineral finish of admirable length — the unmistakable signature of Trépail's chalky terroir.

Terroirs

Drawn from six parcels in the Premier Cru of Trépail (Montagne de Reims), on clay-limestone soils with a strongly chalky character. The village's elevation gives the Chardonnay a slow ripening and natural tension that the 2022 vintage — warm and luminous — balanced beautifully through the underground coolness of the chalk.

About this house

David Léclapart is a pioneering figure in Champenois biodynamics. Based in Trépail, he has farmed his 3 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Demeter certification since 1998 — one of the very first of its kind in Champagne — with no chemical inputs, light ploughing and massal selection to preserve the precise identity of each parcel.

His cuvées are vinified in enamelled tanks with indigenous yeasts, no added sulphur and no dosage, offering complete transparency over terroir and vintage. This uncompromising, minimalist philosophy has made Léclapart a worldwide reference, sought after by the most discerning natural Champagne enthusiasts.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The crystalline acidity of this Brut Nature elevates warm gougères, drawing out their soft, cheesy richness without ever overwhelming it.

Starter

Starter

The citrus and fresh herbs of gravlax resonate perfectly with the chalky tension and bright lemon notes of the cuvée.

Main Course

Main Course

The vivacity and minerality of Trépail's Chardonnay marry elegantly with the creaminess of risotto and the vegetal bitterness of green asparagus.
