Grand Blanc 2014

With the Grand Blanc 2014, Leclerc-Briant again relies on pure organic Chardonnay, picked in the grand crus of the Côte des Blancs. This vintage champagne needs no sugar and no added sulphur, and matured for nine months in barrel. As a Brut Nature it is unadorned: the nose offers blossom and fine pastry, later minerality and fruit. The mousse is fine and the palate creamy at first, then fresh, fruity and mineral.

Thanks to its concentration, it can also stand up to more robust dishes. It suits a rack of lamb just as well as sea bream tartare or open-sea oysters. Pour it at around 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass.
