The 2018 Champagne Leclerc Briant Millésime Blanc de Blancs is a refined and terroir-driven vintage Champagne, crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay and produced using biodynamic principles. Bottled in an Extra Brut style with very low dosage, it highlights purity, precision and the natural expression of the Champagne region, offering a balance of freshness and depth. The nose is elegant and aromatic, showing notes of lemon oil, pear and citrus zest, layered with white flowers, subtle tropical hints and a touch of pastry richness.
On the palate, it is finely structured with a delicate mousse and vibrant acidity. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and light stone fruit are supported by a chalky mineral backbone and a gentle saline edge, leading to a long, precise and refreshing finish. The style is pure, energetic and sophisticated, with both immediate appeal and strong ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout vintage Blanc de Blancs for customers seeking a precise, mineral-driven Champagne with a modern, low-dosage style. It’s ideal for those who appreciate finesse over richness. Drink now or cellar for 6–12 years. Perfect with oysters, scallops, fine seafood or elegant occasions.
