Leclerc Briant Brut Réserve NV

Leclerc Briant Brut Réserve is a beautifully crafted, organically produced Champagne that combines generous fruit character with elegance, freshness and impressive complexity.

The palate opens with crisp green apple, ripe pear, quince and bright citrus fruits, supported by a fine, delicate mousse. The mid-palate develops lovely richness and texture, revealing layers of toasted brioche, almond paste, praline and subtle baking spices. A vibrant thread of lemon acidity and chalky minerality carries through to a long, refreshing finish, with lingering notes of citrus zest, savoury complexity and a delicate saline character.

Winemaking:

Leclerc Briant is one of Champagne's pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture, with a commitment to expressing the purity and individuality of its vineyards.

The Brut Réserve is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel and oak, followed by extended ageing in bottle to develop complexity and finesse.

The low dosage of approximately 4–4.5 g/L enhances the wine's freshness and mineral character while maintaining its generous texture and richness. 

Food Match:

Freshly shucked oysters, seared scallops with lemon butter, roast chicken with wild mushrooms, pork belly with apple and fennel, or aged Comté cheese.
