Based on the 2020 vintage and pouring a bright straw hue, the NV Champagne Brut Reserve is fresh and lifted with breezy and savory aromas of seashell and fresh pear. Floral and fruity on the palate, with medium body and a juicy feel, it has a clean, chalky texture and a mouthwatering, light almond finish with a hint of umami. Made from all organic grapes, it has a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter and was disgorged March 2024.

A lithe and graceful Champagne, with sleek acidity animating flavors of chopped raspberry, nectarine, preserved lemon and oyster shell. Fine and satiny in texture, offering a persistent, lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Disgorged February 2024. Drink now through 2029. 8,500 cases made, 250 cases imported.

A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, the NV Réserve Brut from Champagne Leclerc Briant is showing well today, evoking a lively, fresh bouquet of pear, verbena, lime tree, herbs and menthol. Moderately weighted and tense, it's vinous and energetic with an incisive mid-palate and a mouthwatering, fresh finish. Based on the 2020 vintage with only 5% vins de réserve, it was disgorged in October 2023 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage.
