The 2018 Champagne Leclerc Briant Blanc de Meuniers Millésime is a vintage Champagne crafted exclusively from Pinot Meunier, offering a distinctive and terroir-driven expression of the variety. Produced by the biodynamic house of Leclerc Briant, this release showcases the depth, texture and complexity that Pinot Meunier can achieve in a single-vintage wine.
On the palate, it is elegant and finely textured, with a persistent mousse and vibrant acidity supporting flavours of baked apple, ripe pear and citrus peel. Notes of brioche, toasted nuts and subtle chalky minerality add complexity, while the finish is long, dry and precise with impressive balance and freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Champagne for those looking to explore a premium single-varietal style with both complexity and finesse. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 5–8 years. Pair with oysters, scallops, lobster, roast chicken or creamy mushroom dishes.
