What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger An exquisite vintage Champage made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that has beaten many famous Champagnes in blind tastings.

A remarkably full-flavored bouquet of freshly-baked biscuits along with butter and almond aromas. A palate of delicate honeyed- fruit flavors that is racy and lively thanks to the Chardonnay, and full-bodied and rich thanks to the Pinot Noir. An excellent, long finish. Pair with your finest desserts and holiday celebrants.

An exquisite vintage Champage made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes that has beaten many famous Champagnes in blind tastings. The Zenith of Leclerc's line. This prestige cuvée is a blend of Pinot Noir (50%) and Chardonnay (50%) from estate vineyards in the villages of Dizy, Cumieres, Damery, and Hautvillers. It aged for 5 years on the lees in Leclerc's cellars before release. Cuvée Divine has beaten many more famous names, including Dom Perignon, in blind tastings. Its great concentration is a testament to Leclerc-Briant's low yield organic farming. A remarkably read more...
