The crystal-clear, pale gold color is enlivened by fine, elegant bubbles. The nose opens with subtle aromas of white fruit and flowers, evolving towards more gourmand notes of dried fruit and sweet spices. On the palate, the attack is lively, the texture silky, carried by a beautiful amplitude and a persistent mineral freshness. The long, vibrant finish leaves a pure, saline imprint.

Terroir-Champagne-Ruinart

Terroirs

Montagne de Reims,
Trépail

Cuvée L'Amateur draws its richness from the unique terroir of Trépail, an emblematic village on the Montagne de Reims. Here, chalky clay soil gives the Chardonnay remarkable mineral tension and freshness. South-facing, the vineyard benefits from a temperate climate, favoring slow, even ripening of the grapes. This soil, emblematic of the Champagne terroir, lends the cuvée an aromatic purity, meticulous structure and elegant minerality that reveal the singular character of this Chardonnay.

About this house

David Léclapart is one of Champagne's most brilliant winemakers. His innovative, environmentally-friendly know-how inspires many young winemakers.

David was one of the very first in Champagne and in France to take an interest in organic viticulture. In 1996, he began converting the 3 hectares of vines on his estate in Trépail to organic methods.

In 1998, he was awarded Demeter certification, and set about crafting champagnes of elegance and finesse, with particularly silky bubbles. David Léclapart produces only non-dosed, vintage champagnes, like snapshots of his Trépail terroir.
