2014 Champagne

Leclerc Briant’s début Blanc de Noirs, this special single vineyard is located directly under the Abbey of Hautvilliers, the historical cradle of Champagne and the influences of Dom Pérignon himself. This organic and biodynamic vineyard produces richly flavoured Pinot Noir, made into a pure, low-dosage expression of the site’s terroir. The nose combines butter, red apples and spice, while the palate is positively charged, with layers of apple and rhubarb crumble, croissants and candy floss, wild flowers and mixed herbs. A vibrant and supple wine, flecked with minerality.
