Tasting
To the eye, this Champagne has a satiny, luminous, dense, pale yellow-gold color with deep yellow-green highlights.
The nose is iodized and pastry-like, with notes of preserved lemon, kirsch cherry custard and cookie. Aeration reveals more substance through jasmine and sweet spices.
On the palate, the Champagne develops a fruity texture revealing a sensation of fullness and greediness, carried by a fresh vibrancy typical of the vintage.

About this house
Champagne Leclerc Briant created in Cumières in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc, the estate moved to Epernay in 1955 to its current premises at 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.
