Champagne Leclerc Briant Rose Rosé
This negoc house was founded in 1955 when Bertrand Leclerc married Jacqueline Briant. They were an early adopter of organic practices back in the 1960’s, and were one of the first to bottle single-vineyard Champagnes in the 1970’s. In the late 1980’s, Bertrand and Jacqueline’s son, Pascal, began integrating biodynamic principles and part of the production has been Demeter certified since 2003. Today, enologist Hervé Jestin, known for his biodynamics / bioenergetics oversees the wines of the house and its near 30ha of vines, plus another 20+ha of organically farmed contract fruit.
Hervé prefers less liqueur de tirage, therefore fewer bubbles overall. The Rosé Extra Brut is labeled NV, but this bottle is from a single harvest (2021), and blends 93% Chardonnay (from Chouilly and Montgueux), 7% Pinot Noir (from Les Riceys), native fermented in stainless, with a small amount of the pinot noir fermenting in wood. This bottle rests for three years on lees before being disgorged with 2.5g/L, in September 2025. Pouring a spring salmon hue, this runs brisk along the palate with rhubarb, raspberry, tangerine, and subtle meringue on the core, trailing off with toast and citrus pith.
“Leclerc Briant's NV Rosé Extra-Brut offers up aromas of red berries, lemon oil, herbs and peony mingled with lovely smoky notes. Moderately weighted, tense and straight, it's vinous and lively, with bright acids and a mouthwatering, saline and lemon oil-inflected finish. It was crafted from Chardonnay from Mardeuil, Trépaille, Billy le Grand and Bisseuil, with the addition of 7% red wine. Drink 2024 - 2029.” - 91 points, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate.
