Champagne Leclerc Briant Rosé Extra Brut
WineSpark Price €42.98
If you’re feeling fancy, this is perfect aperitif wine, but it also goes amazing with food.
It’s a blend of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir. The Pinot comes from a Grand Cru vineyard just south of Epernay, and it’s amazing what just 5% in the wine adds to the blend.
It’s made from 100% organic grapes from one vintage - 2017.
It ages in tanks and barrels until the July following harvest. And after it bottles, it ages on its lees for 30 months.
Finally it’s bottled unfiltered and unfined, so you keep as much texture and mouthfeel as possible, with the tiniest most elegant bubbles.
This is rare, real, and artisanal winemaking in a region that’s obsessed with image and marketing.
Not only is this wine organic, but the whole package is completely sustainable. The bottle is made from recycled glass, the label is cotton instead of paper, and the foil is made from recycled tin and aluminum.
This is amazing quality and provenance for the price, and that’s what being part of WineSpark is all about.
