Terroirs
Montagne de Reims
The Blanc de Meuniers cuvée from Leclerc Briant is made from a single grape variety: Pinot Meunier, grown on Premier Cru plots in Chamery, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. This hilly terroir rests on chalky-clayey-limestone soils rich in marl, giving the wine minerality, tension and aromatic expression. The Meunier grape, often discreet in Champagne, is revealed here in a pure and subtle interpretation, supported by respect for the soil, biodynamic viticulture and natural vinification, true to the spirit of the House.
About this house
Champagne Leclerc Briant created in Cumières in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc, the Domaine moved to Epernay in 1955 to its current premises on Chemin de la Chaude Ruelle.
The vinification and ageing cellars feature contemporary architecture in a monastic atmosphere. In these buildings, where only good vibes are tolerated, lies a collection of containers of all shapes and sizes, which will eventually be assembled in a quest for harmony.
In the lower cellars, at a depth of 35 metres, conditions are ideal for the prolonged ageing of the cuvées, whose names follow one another down the aisles.

Dishes
