The making of the Brut Réserve Leclerc Briant in half-bottle

The Brut Réserve in half-bottle perfectly embodies the Leclerc Briant style. A style that relies on a wide aromatic expressiveness. This cuvée is thus made from an assemblage of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay. A part of the wines is aged in oak barrels, bringing a subtle woody complexity. The naturally performed malolactic fermentation gives this cuvée gourmet aromas and a soft texture. Aged on lees for several years, the Brut Réserve gains aromatic richness while maintaining great vivacity. Its Extra Brut dosage, at 4.5 g/l, fully expresses the purity and authenticity of the wine.
