The 2016 Champagne Leclerc Briant Blanc de Meuniers Millésime is a distinctive and terroir-driven vintage Champagne, crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. Produced using biodynamic practices and bottled in a low-dosage Brut Nature style, it offers a pure and expressive take on a rarely highlighted Champagne varietal, combining richness with precision. The nose is complex and characterful, showing aromas of pear, apple and citrus, layered with notes of orange blossom, almond and subtle spice. Hints of wild plum, brioche and lightly smoky undertones add depth and intrigue.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy yet structured texture and fine mousse. Orchard fruit and citrus flavours are supported by fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone, with nuances of pastry, nuttiness and savoury complexity. The finish is long, dry and precise, with a refined saline edge.
