Champagne Leclerc Briant Réserve Brut NV Review
Leclerc Briant was an early adopter of organic viticulture, implementing the practice in the 1960s. Today, the Champagne house works with about 25 acres of estate vineyards and holds long-term contracts with about 20 additional acres of organically farmed vines to make its expressive wines. This bottle, made with a blend of all three major Champagne grapes, opens with aromas of orange blossoms and lemon zest. On the palate, richer notes of brioche and almonds are revealed with a flavor reminiscent of raspberries covered in powdered sugar.
