The Making of Leclerc Briant Brut Réserve Champagne

The Brut Réserve cuvée is made from a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay. Part of the wine is vinified and aged in oak barrels, adding a subtle patina and delicate woody aromas. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, giving the wine complex aromas and a silky texture. Aged for a long time on the lees, this cuvée develops a rich aromatic profile while retaining great freshness. Its Extra Brut dosage, at only 4.5 g/l, reveals all the purity and authenticity of the wine.

A pioneer of organic viticulture in Champagne, Leclerc Briant continues its quest for purity and respect for the terroirs through each cuvée.
