Leclerc Briant Derrière les Clos 2019 is a Grand Cru vintage Extra-Brut Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the prestigious parcel Derrière les Clos in Mailly-Champagne (Montagne de Reims) a site known for producing refined, terroir-driven wines. The tiny vineyard’s unique exposure gives this champagne impressive purity, tension and aromatic precision.
Carefully vinified and matured in oak barrels, this blanc de noirs displays fine and elegant effervescence with a refined bead. On the nose, delicate floral notes intertwine with hints of redcurrant leaf, coffee and subtle earthy tones. On the palate, it offers a silky, finely textured experience, combining freshness, finesse and layered complexity that beautifully reflect its terroir pedigree.

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.
Association with the press of 2 adjoining plots located in the heart of the Pierry terroir: Les Tartières and Les Porgeons planted in 1990 and 1985. Pure expression of the complexity, between flesh and tension, of Chardonnays from Coteaux Sud of Epernay.

Nicolas Maillart Franc de Pied 2019 is a single plot Cuvée (Les Coupes), single grape variety (100% Pinot Noir) and limited to less than 4000 bottles per vintage. The peculiarity of this Champagne is that it is made from "free-root" vines, that is to say without American rootstock as was the Champagne vineyard before the phylloxera crisis.
Bollinger Special Cuvée is a Champagne mostly blended with reserve wines, part of which has been kept in magnums for 5 to 15 years. The maturation time is therefore much higher than the appellation standards.
