Leclerc Briant Reserve Brut Champagne

A rich and expansive Champagne with racy acidity generating a mouth watering conclusion.

A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. A buoyant mousse forms over a pale straw pale gold tinged base that has a steady bead flowing through it. Aromas of baked bread, strawberry and yeast lees fill the nostrils followed by hints of pear and subtle oily cashew like notes. Rich and expansive the palate features pear, subtle strawberry and baked bread flavours over an oily cashew, toast and yeast lees back drop. Fullish feel with racy acidity and a long mouth watering conclusion.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews…..
Based on the 2020 vintage and pouring a bright straw hue, the NV Champagne Brut Reserve is fresh and lifted with breezy and savory aromas of seashell and fresh pear. Floral and fruity on the palate, with medium body and a juicy feel, it has a clean, chalky texture and a mouthwatering, light almond finish with a hint of umami. Made from all organic grapes, it has a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter and was disgorged March 2024.
