Leclerc Briant Grand Blanc 2014 Vintage Champagne 75cl
Leclerc Briant Grand Blanc 2014 Vintage Champagne is an example of exception and finesse. A rich cuvée holding a powerful iodine minerality, this elegant champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from Grand Crus of the Côte de Blancs.
Developed for 5 years on lees after being aged for 9 months in oak barrels, this champagne is ready to enjoy straight away.
The House prides itself on its organic and biodynamic techniques in both the vineyard and the winery which is strikingly modern in style and has a monastic ambience set in the heart of Epernay. The chalk cellars hold the House's precious bottles, 35m below the surface where they age for many years and develop the characteristics that are so evident in the resulting wines.

Grape: Chardonnay
A very reliable vintage with good ripeness and acidity, 2014 was characterised by mild temperatures, frequent rainfall and a few weeks of high temperatures. Flowering started in June and the summer had dry, wet and cold spells. Chardonnay is typically the star of the vintage.
On the palate, this develops more fresh pastry, buttery pastry, meringue and great freshness from minerality and a strong saline twist. There are intensely rich, ripe yellow fruits, citrus and toasty pineapple flavours with a twist of oak spice. The finish is prolonged and heavy.
Pairs beautifully with scallops and white butter sauce, grilled langoustine, monk fish or mushroom risotto.
Leclerc Briant was one of the first Champagne Houses to adopt organic practices in the early 1960's and spearheaded the concept of single-vineyard Champagne in the 1970's.
Pascal Leclerc, fifth-generation vigneron, started to practice in biodynamic winemaking in 1988. Today, the legacy of this inspired house is in the hands of enologist Hervé Jestin.
