Champagne LECLERC BRIANT - Rosé - Magnum
The Champagne House Leclerc Briant is located in Epernay, in Champagne. It was created in Cumières in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc. Under the action of Bertrand Leclerc, great-grandson of the founder, and his wife Jacqueline Briant, the Domaine becomes Maison de Négoce. In 1990, Pascal Leclerc took over from his parents and continued their work. In 2012, the takeover of Leclerc Briant by Mark Nunnelly and Denise Dupré saved the House from oblivion. This American couple joins Frédéric Zeimett, originally from Champagne, who now manages the House. The House has 14 hectares of vines, mostly located in Grand Cru (Mailly, Le Mesnil) and Premier Cru (Hautvilliers, Cumières, Mareuil sur Aÿ, Bisseuil, Rilly La Montagne, Villers-Allerand, Trépail). The Domaine also includes a tiny plot of vines called La Croisette. Maison Leclerc Briant was one of the precursors of biodynamics in Champagne. From the end of the 1950s, Bertrand Leclerc was the first to implement organic farming practices, with the certifications undertaken by his son Pascal. Today, the entire vineyard is certified in biodynamic agriculture and all the range is labeled vegan.
The Brut Rosé is a blend of Chardonnay (95%) and Pinot Noir (5%) vinified in red and harvested in 2016. The wine is aged in barrels, dosed at 4.5 g/L and disgorged in February 2019.
