Leclerc Briant Les Carelles 2018 is a 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs from a single Grand Cru vineyard in Mesnil-sur-Oger, on the Côte des Blancs.
This vintage stands out for its marked minerality (pure chalk soil terroir) and fresh, refined profile — with a very low dosage (~ 0.6 g/L, Extra Brut) for pure, direct expression.
On the nose: delicate aromas of white fruits (pear, peach), white flowers, citrus, with a chalky/mineral edge reflecting its terroir.
On the palate: pure, tense and mineral-driven, with elegant fruit, chalky salinity, and a refined texture — excellent with seafood, fish dishes or as a sophisticated aperitif.
Established in 1872 in Cumières and relocated to Épernay in 1955, the Leclerc Briant house is an iconic player in organic and biodynamic Champagne. A pioneer in these environmentally conscious practices, it has made its mark on Champagne history with its commitment to sustainability and terroir purity. Leclerc Briant champagnes stand out for their bold character, complex aromas, and unique ecological footprint.
The Leclerc Briant house was founded in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc in Cumières, a historic Champagne village. The family’s stewardship continued through subsequent generations, notably with Bertrand Leclerc, who married Jacqueline Briant, merging their names to form the house’s identity. In 1955, the company moved its headquarters to Épernay, at the heart of Champagne.
By the 1960s, Bertrand Leclerc began transitioning to organic farming, making Leclerc Briant one of the pioneers of this practice in Champagne. In 2012, the house was acquired by American investors Mark Nunnelly and Denise Dupré, who brought fresh energy while respecting its foundational values.
