Leclerc Briant

Pure Cramant 2012 Sans Souffre | Bottle 75cl

Description

Leclerc Briant's Pure Cramant 2012 is a champagne of remarkable intensity and precision. A cuvée that will resonate magnificently with noble dishes.

The Leclerc Briant estate has been working according to biodynamic principles for several years, accompanied in particular by Hervé Jestin, one of the world's leading specialists.

Cuvée Pure Cramant 2012 is made from a single parcel, naturally located on the Grand Cru terroir of Cramant. It is a champagne vinified and aged in wood, with no added sulphur, and no dosage after disgorgement.

Its pale gold color is luminous and satiny. Its bubbles are fine and delicate.

The first nose reveals creamy, slightly spicy notes typical of Cramant's chalky terroir. The second nose reveals notes of butter, poppy seeds, butterscotch, almond milk and iodine. After a few more moments, the wine offers a touch of fresh fruit, with the intense chalk as support.

On the palate, the attack is supple and clean, with a creamy, mellow effervescence. The palate is silky, with the fatness of the chalk and the complexity of the wood in perfect harmony. The palate is remarkably well-balanced, with a powerful, massive finish carried by superb tension.

This Pure Cramant Sans Souffre is both powerful and elegant, carried by a magnificent minerality. It's a wonderful match for Breton lobster, roast pike-perch fillet or foie gras.
