Leclerc Briant Château d’Avize 2015 is a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Champagne made from a small, historic Chardonnay vineyard planted in 1968 in Avize, one of Champagne’s most revered terroirs in the Côte des Blancs. It embodies the biodynamic philosophy of Maison Leclerc Briant, where vineyard expression, purity and precision are paramount.
In the glass, it shows a bright pale yellow colour with fine, elegant bubbles. On the nose, it reveals bright notes of white fruits, floral hints and mineral undertones, with subtle pastry nuances. On the palate, the wine is fresh, precise and luminous, featuring a supple yet structured texture, vivid minerality and a long, refined finish that highlights the depth and finesse of Grand Cru Chardonnay.

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.
David Léclapart's Cuvée l'Amateur is defined as: "a person who loves, cultivates and seeks certain things". A 100% Chardonnay Champagne from a selection of plots representative of the Trépail terroir.
Gosset Celebris Vintage 2012 is only the 9th edition of this vintage in the last 35 years. The exceptional Gosset Celebris vintage, the quintessence of the House style, requires a particular typicity of fresh fruit, among high quality harvests. The 2012 harvest expresses all this potential.
A rosé with a high proportion of Chardonnays that offers freshness and integrity, complemented by Pinot Noirs vinified in white and red. The red wines from different Champagne crus are produced and blended in search of a crunchy fruitiness and finesse.
The Abyss cuvée is a very unique Champagne which has aged underwater for 1 year. These special aging conditions highlight during the tasting a mineral and chalky signature, reflecting the great terroirs of Champagne.
