About this bottle
Leclerc Briant La Croisette is a white sparkling wine from France. It is a vintage single-plot Blanc de Blancs Champagne (pronounced blahn duh BLAHN) from the biodynamic house Leclerc Briant, made entirely from Chardonnay from a single vineyard. Long ageing on the lees gives depth and precision. On the nose, ripe apple, citrus, white flowers, a hint of brioche, nuts, honey and chalk. The bubbles are very fine and creamy, the palate taut, mature and precise, and the finish very long, citrusy and mineral. Excellent as an aperitif and with oysters, seafood, poultry in sauces and mature cheeses.
About the houseA pioneer of biodynamics in Champagne, which almost disappeared after the death of the last of the family, and today, under American owners, carries out the most daring experiments in the region: wine fermented in a barrel lined with 24-carat gold and Champagne aged 60 m beneath the surface of the Atlantic.History, people and stories: Leclerc Briant
